Amp draw
Looking to install powerful fans on the radiator in order to combat heat.
Combined they will draw 60 amps when on. Will this car's alternator be able to handle it? Thanks. |

Run higher pressure radiator cap and aluminum radiator?
A larger fan isn't going to help you when you're already speeding down a race track.

The stock alternator is, I believe, 130 amps. Gathered from another thread on here. If you're adding 60 amps, it's not gonna work. No way. If you're replacing the stock fans, we'd have to know what they draw. I searched online a bit and couldn't find any specs, just a part number for the motors. It's probably written on the motors themselves, though.
