Incidentally, I read somewhere that the EF/EL's had much more powerful alternators then the Ea-Ed's, is that because of the extra drain of the thermos? I actually noticed the engine drop some revs when the fans kicked in today... so its defiantly put a load on the alternator.

Does anyone have the specs on the output of the EA-ED and EF/EL alternators?

EA-Ed can be 70-80amp, usually 70a Mitsubishi. EF are 110amp Mitsi, EL 100amp
This should help,

I believe the internals can be swapped around

Sweet, the motor going in soon is an EL with an EF alternator.. looks like serendipity strikes again.. :-)

Incidentally, today was my first experience putting on a serpentine belt... took me about 5 tries before I figured it out... would have been much easier had I found BenJ's EL motor picture before I did it rather than afterwards...

bArNsY,
The internals cannot be swapped around, the 110amp internals have a greater diameter than the 70 amp and are NOT interchangeable, it's an urban myth propagated by those who've never tried it.
Have a read of the thread I posted above your post for the actual results.
The 110 amp was required for the fans plus coil pack on the EF, for any other application the EL 100amp is plenty as it's only the increased output at low revs [over the 70amp] that counts and the 110 and 100 are about the same.
Cheers,
Paul
PS... the 80-85 amp is a Bosch, I think, and cannot be swapped into a Mitsubishi case.

No worries mate,
I took it as read and wasn't referring to you as a 'propogator' LOL
Even Snap0964 wasn't sure until I tried it and Ray knows his 'stuff'. It must have been the only thing he hasn't tried to modify but given time he'd have got around to it! LOL
Cheers,
Paul

HI, there.......I wish to fit a switch in the cabin to enable me to switch on the high speed thermo fan on my EL manually. I feel that I need to do this as the car gets very hot on uphill climbs and it seems that the high speed fan comes on at too high a temp. I have a new radiator, on the 56th thermostat, the head has been done and a new water pump fitted and still the same problem persists. I have searched just about everywhere re wiring a switch and there are plenty of people who say they have done it, but I can't seem to find how they exactly did it! I have seen wiring diagrams, etc, however what I really need is someone to actually explain it more or less wire by wire, connection by connection if this is possible.... Is there anyone who could help me in this before I have to take it to a Auto Electrician??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

It seems that the 2nd speed comes in at too high a temp. To fix, gather one Auto-Electrician, add $130, add switch to enable fan speed to be controlled manually and switch on before the climb. Simple, really!!!

hmmmm, you could have done what I did..

get a 60 dollar davies craig thermo switch and bypass the factory stuff altogether.. now when the guage gets to about 3mm into operating temp, the fans come on full.. temp never goes up or down from there... perfect.
