Stock Engine Fan

[rallure]

has anyone had a good look at the stock fan on a mk1 aristo? mine doesn't look like the one they have on a supra i.e vicious im not sure how it is powered? are they electric? although i doubt electric fans would need fan fluid.

Very interesting you should bring this up, as when I was in a garage last week, I was letting them have a look round, to make sure they wanted to do the timing belt, and they mentioned about the fan.

Don't think a conclusion was reached though as I was in a bit of a hurry, but I know they thought that it had hydraulic fluid though.

im just thinking how much air the fan can flow, i know the supra stock fan is better than most electric aftermarket units but im not sure about this, i doubt we will ever know tbh. might ost a fortune to replace it it breaks unless you go electric? the aristo fan has a fluid bottle saying only "dextron 2" hmmmmmmmm

[Ahhhh__Aristo]

I think if it broke, I'd have to be Koyo or Fluidyne with a couple of big leccy fans, probably cost the same as getting the OEM fixed or replaced.

Any ideas what the GS300 uses??

my aristo has a koyo radiator on there, i'll have a good look about tomorrow, get it up on a ramp and see what i can find out.

The fan is driven by a pump on the front of the engine and the pipes go down in to the o/s/f possibly to a cooler.There is also a solenoid on the pump which would suggest it would allow more flow to the fan to make it spin quicker depending on temperature.

Will have one for sale by end of week.

mk 1 GS300 uses a viscous fan and an electric fan
