You also need a shroud of some sort. That helps a lot more than youd think.

Update!
ok, i got a flex-a-lite 16" shrouded 2000 cfm fan... it still overheats, but very gradually. the temp gauge doesnt go up until ive been idling for several minutes. works fine for normal driving, even at traffic lights, but its gonna still be overheating under very heavy traffic. and im still getting that coolant boiling. it even looks like it sucked my reservoir bottle (it was almost collapsed) though the reservoir was full.
ive mounted it behind the radiator, as a puller. i didnt have to reverse the blades because it came puller ready, i just had to wire it as a puller. -2000 cfm -16" diameter - shrouded - puller what i was thinking though, is that since the fan clutch is farther away from the radiator (and my electric fan is attached to the radiator) it could have something to do with it not having enough room to pull air from. any ideas/suggestions? |

Sounds like you might have a bhg??? Have you replaced the water pump and thermostat? I donno though. I just got a 2600CFM 16" electric fan. We will se how that goes.

i dont see how i could have a bhg, i get lots of compression and no white junk under the cap (or any other bhg symptoms). a bad thermostat and/or water pump would have my car overheating even when driving fast. its air im not getting into my radiator, i just dont understand why.

Thats not neccesarily true. If your water pump is starting to go, It might not pump a lot of water, But the radiator while moving has enough flow to defeat any overheating. Def replace your thermostat with a cooler one too. Even with no fan you shouldnt be overheating that fast, So there is something wrong.

thats the thing, with this new fan i installed i dont overheat fast. only after ive been driving for a while and then start idling for a long period of time. even then it takes a while for the temp to go up. even if i am idling and overheating reving my engine a bit will start lowering the temperature.
what would i look for in a bad water pump (or a water pump thats about to go bad)? but given that thermostats are fairly inexpensive ill get a new one for sure. |

update
no bhg (yet haha), just a water pump starting to go bad (and i could see it get worst everyday). funny thing, when i removed it it still seemed to spin alright like the new one. but, no overheating problems anymore! and my car is even a little quieter now. thanks for all your help guys.
