blower fans

[XPogiGTIVR6X]

My friend has a 93 Cougar, bought it for like 200 bucks, its beat to hell, he has a mark VIII and hes going swap parts, well theres a blower motor in there, Maybe an oil cooler, and a Tranny cooler, and there Must be a heater core. almost every thing i need to make a awsome Water Cooler System.

I was wondering if That blower can be run of the PS? Ill probly have a 2nd AT power supply, just for the Fans, and the Water pump.

Sorry, that stuff runs at a lot higher amps than a coputer..

And about the water pump, it ran off of the engine, not off of electricity.

I ment a Water pump used in Aquariums. really more amps huh? what about connecting it to my power strip? and runing a switch to turn it on and off?

Bump.

It would work, but you'd still be in the same boat. The fan will need a 15-20 amp 12 volt power supply (sometimes more) plugged into that power strip.
If you have the power supply, pump, and the computer all plugged into the same power strip, you can control everything so it all comes on at once, but most power strips are rated at 15 amps so you'd have to shop around for a better one. There's also the little matter of the house's fuse/breaker controling the plugin. It has to be rated for more than what the power strip's drawing too. (alot of houses have 15-20 amp breakers on wall plug ins).

Honestly, it'd be easier to shop for a 110volt blower fan (probably cheaper too). Search for "Hoots cohesive blower" in the threads.

well, it cant be cheeper then Free. cause thats what im getting the blower for, Free. oook a Car has more electrical power then a house??? I dont understand. maybe I can Change the motor, that drives the blower?

the fan is only gonna need about 5 amps. In hoots setup he ran his 12Vv off his PSU. The fan will hav a metal tab that will tell you the amps required. If you look in the fuse pannel of the car you can see the fuse amps for the blower. That will be 1.2-2 times more than it will need. your gonna want to drop the voltage i guess cause it will move air like a SOB.
