Electric Fan Conversion Question

[RTLINGR2]

yes same as the radiators, although parts guys will stand on there head and swear they wont swap lol
a 00 will swap to a 14 and a 14 will swap to a 00
same as the alternators a 2 pin will swap from 05-2020, or vica versa and a 4 pin can be made to work on a 2 pin with a little electronic adapter.
a electric fan shroud (outer fitment) and the power connector for the motors is the same from 04/05 to 2014
and the electric fan shroud will fit 00-14, that's why you can easily change a non electric to electric and if you really wanted to you could change a electric to clutch fan
the differences are the inner shroud design to fit the blades/motor differences a 500w motor mounts different than a 700w motor and the blades will vary as well
there is a few different designs, but all "fit" the same on the radiator

This wasn't my post, but thats good info. Thanks!

ya, sometimes there is cross posting I was replying to "fitment" question

I was following along.

Forgive me if this was already covered in here. Skimmed a couple times but not sure I caught everything. Two questions:

Q1 aftermarket junction block: I think the intention in this post was to swap in factory wiring. I don't want to do that. My plan is to use an aftermarket junction block. I have a handful of things to wire up aside from this. Curious if anybody has experience with a good aftermarket junction block they would recommend? Something with provisions for say a dozen or so items (air compressor, off road lights, etc. etc. etc.) and is weather sealed for under the hood?

Q2 Fan shroud: I've not looked to closely as the fan setup recently. I don't know if the fans have a provision to hold the upper radiator hose? Currently that's done by my mechanic fan shroud. Otherwise, do I need a different shroud to set on top of the fans to hold that hose?

Pretty sure the electric fan shroud holds the upper hose like the mechanical shroud does. It's been awhile since I've looked under my hood. FYI--You can use the nnbs electric fans too. They're the same.

Not sure about #2 but as for the hose- use the same clip, it pops into the shroud on the electric fan.

Nice supercharger….

Yessir, works very well.

Sweet one less thing to buy.

I'm researching aftermarket junction blocks though. DARN I didn't realize something so simple would be so $$$$$

I am convinced I'd like a separate box for aftermarket / non-factory stuff but not ready to spend $600 for a few relays and fuses.

I wonder if anybody has took one off another vehicle and repurposed it? I'd like to stick with the mini blade fuses and same relays. I wonder if perhaps a similar year GM car might be a good candidate?

Otherwise, this would be a great project for a 3d printer and custom circuit board.

I went with the factory add-on fuse box and wiring harness myself after trying an aftermarket one that was purpose-built for the conversion. I think it was a Nelson. It melted at least 3 times, even after I upgraded the relay block itself to a beefier block with bigger wiring. There’s something about the factory one with the solid-state looking relays that just works. The last time the aftermarket one melted was in 110* temps a long way from home, and I had to get a tow of about 150 miles. Lucky I had AAA+. There’s more to it than just relays and fuses.
