Junkyard OEM Electric Fan Vs. Reman Copy It's Not Even Close.... Contour Fan

Undoubtfully the best junkyard fan you can buy. This is the dual bladed ford contour fan that we use in our fox body mustangs. They fit a lot of aluminum radiators for many different brands. True test pound for pound right to a power source..

Contour Fan TEST "JUNKYARD" vs “REMAN" Budget Foxbody Cooling MOD

[@Neomustangs]

THIS TEST WAS UNEXPECTED. I HAD TO BRING IT TO YOU. IM ALWAYS HONEST WITH ALL MY CARS & PARTS.

[@heathhenderson7217]

Thanks for answering the question everyone wants to know.

[@robertobetancourt7881]

Hey Bro you bean pumping those triceps , fox body triceps ext💪🏾

[@eugenechurch6135]

I drop these fans in all mustangs I work on. They work perfect.

[@GearHead704]

Love the honesty and expressing your experience with the community bro 👊

[@derekmills7688]

Man thank you for doing this. The repop would not cool my turbo car well... but everyone always says "Contour Contour Contour"... maybe the original would do the job but I went back to the good ol' mechanical and no more cooling issues for me.

[@Neomustangs]

cool man! Glad you got it figured out

[@SN95Power]

I said the same thing to Ken when we installed his replacement Contour fan. The replacement one keeps his car ice cold but definitely less cfm than OEM Contour fan. Great information

[@Neomustangs]

Thanks man. Ya it’s def not as good. It works but…

[@fordhoarder]

Got mine from LMR and it's the same shit. It keeps my car cool but it definitely aint like a factory unit. Have the mad scientist turn on the electric fan trigger on your A9L. Works great.

[@Neomustangs]

Thx for heads up

[@sallydafoxfitness]

What a difference- thanks for sharing!

[@johndoe-zb8bm]

Nothing like O.E. FORD equipment, facts!👈🔥💯

[@Neomustangs]

Right

[@hotrodray6802]

Mass meters, etc, only buy genuine Motorcraft is sealed packages that say MADE IN USA

[@hotrodray6802]

Id rather have a junkyard part electric or electronic part than a new aftermarket. At least you know it was running when it crashed.👍

[@Bobby4v]

I bought my contour fans off ebay for 83.00 lol they work great, I don't have an oem ford to compare them to though. My problem is when the come on they almost stall the car. I have a 200 amp alternator and all new wiring, 2 85 amp relays..they are running off the terminator x.

[@lochnessfox3441]

Man what a difference!!! Definitely source stock stuff. Great bud and comparison. Ttys buddy

[@Neomustangs]

Yes sir

[@justintx75]

Neo bro, dand good info. Just seen this video, very informative and thanks for all you do for the fox community

[@justintx75]

Neo, question: if I have a oem junkyard fan and need to replace one of the fan motors but want to keep the oem cfm, were do I got the replacement motor?

[@Neomustangs]

I’d just find another unit

[@Neomustangs]

Thx. !!

[@hotrodray6802]

🔔👍 A $12 anamometer is wonderful device. I use them on all radiators and AC vents. Youd be surprised how much underdrive pulleys kill airflow.🤔

[@crabbypapa3862]

1993 5.0, automatic, A/C, Mark VIII with Autocool controller never goes past midrange. The Autocool has no relays to burn out, the fan only comes on after radiator reaches160 ( temperature sensor at the return side ), or, when A/C turned on. Has a 30 second run after engine is turned off. The only down side is that the engine has no air flow during stops when A/C is not running. The TFI failed after a year running the E-fan, after relocating the TFI to the fender with a heat sink there has been no issues for 2 years now.

[@jaceyrondeau8133]

Simple vid but great 👍 info. Appreciate it, as always, Dan

[@frankenstanggarage7911]

Thanks for doing this comparison! Good info to know!

[@Neomustangs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hotrodray6802]

FYI Have you seen the new 2021 Chevy trucks with 320* on the temp gauge ?? Red line at 280. Must be a whopper of a pressure cap😱😱

[@anthonyWilson514]

That’s crazy! You would think the new aftermarket fans would be equal if not superior to an old junkyard OE unit.

[@Neomustangs]

Correct.

[@hotrodray6802]

Welcome to 2021.

[@robertobetancourt7881]

Thanks for that Video, help a lot👍

[@Neomustangs]

Ty !

[@brokentoolgarage8609]

I like the test!

[@ilike9s]

Damn good info.

[@jesusmunoz5184]

What years would fit our Foxbodies? New Ford unit(years), thanks in advance for any information.

[@antiricergt]

Thanks for the info. I have a couple of these in the building that I’ve gotten at the junkyards. I currently have the clutch fan on my turbo 306 Fox but will be swapping to this the electric. The part that I have a issue with the most is about running the electric fan from a toggle switch or from prop so it kicks on and off when it’s required. I kinda want both ways so I can turn it on when I need/want to. The issue with having it on a switch is leaving it on and battery running dead.

[@Neomustangs]

I ran it dual relay on both my white mustang and project hot wheels. Didn’t pull a ton of amps. And each had their own relay so if one died other kept it from boiling over.

[@Cesarcelio24]

@@Neomustangs any more info on running it with dual relays? Looking to do this contour set up without a controller if I can

[@whitedragon_velo9798]

Great video 😙💨💨👍

[@Neomustangs]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@joshsiebert7657]

Yup ,cant beat the ford Contour fan unless it's the early 90's Taurus fan if you have the room for that one . . I run a single Ford Contour fan setup on my 5.0 ranger uses the same motor as the Ford Taurus fan and it's way thinner than the Ford Taurus also

[@Neomustangs]

Ya the Taurus is pretty good too

[@95turbostang21]

You can hear the difference between the OEM and aftermarket OEM is like 50% more stronger not to mention you can see how much air is pushing with your shirt blowing around

[@Neomustangs]

Right. That’s why I made this video !

[@lamarrichardson1782]

Hell Yeah!!!

[@dth2454]

How to wire these with two relays?

[@Neomustangs]

We used a Ron Francis controller

[@stephenwhite5444]

Hey bro, great video! How has that controller held up? Do you still like it or wish you'd have got something else for any particular reason?

[@Neomustangs]

It's good

[@horsepoweraddict7199]

Will this fan fit 94-95 5.0 ? Also

[@sweetassugar2076]

Neo will a Ford Taurus fan work ? Does it matter what year It is when I go to the junkyard to find one to get ?

[@Neomustangs]

Yes for sure!

[@steamy1225]

Great video. just seen it. the question is , Can you still find a Contour in the junkyard? Here in MI they've been gone for years. Don't see any on the road anymore either. I would like to do the swap on my 88 stang but if i can not find one what is the alternative ? the Dorman one? My car is not boosted in any way, So even the Dorman i think will work . Tauruses are still lurking around but in fewer numbers. What years will work on the Stang?

[@Neomustangs]

If I didn’t have contour fan option I’d go with Taurus fan

[@steamy1225]

@@Neomustangs Thanks man.

[@LamborghiniX09]

I had a feeling deep down this was why my Contour OE Replacement couldn’t keep up with my Turbo setup. Have a OE Mark 8 fan that ill throw on instead.

[@Neomustangs]

Ya I was disappointed tbh. I’m like wth is this ?

[@hotrodray6802]

Good, but rare.

[@95turbostang21]

My 95 get to 200 degrees is that normal for an sn95

[@Neomustangs]

Not really

[@hotrodray6802]

195* thermostats will run 203+. Thermostats are fully open about 7* above their stamped crack open temperature.

[@SN95Power]

I have my tune to turn on fan at 206 and cut off at 200.

[@95turbostang21]

@@SN95Power ok yeah I was just curious because I know sn95 is the same motor but I'm seeing the fox body's cooling temperatures set a lot lower and I always wondered why yeah I have mine set at 200 turn on and 195 to turn off on Holly and it's been that way for over 2 years again just curious. I know they both have different thermostat temperatures. But damn 160 my fan would be constantly running with the amount of heat under that hood with the turbo

[@horsepoweraddict7199]

What years cars make model at junkyard is the ones to get ?

[@Neomustangs]

I do believe its 98-01? Might be 95. 2.5 V6 engine. I think 2.0s had them later.

[@horsepoweraddict7199]

@@Neomustangs are the a single speed fan? Or 2 speed. If so do you just wire them up on the high speed?
