16in Tornado Fan and Thermostat Kit

The DERALE 16in Tornado Fan and Thermostat Kit is engineered for automotive enthusiasts and performance builders who demand reliable engine cooling without sacrificing underhood real estate. This electric cooling fan system solves a critical problem for street machines, restorations, and modified vehicles where traditional belt-driven fans create parasitic power loss or packaging constraints. The included thermostat control ensures the fan operates only when needed, reducing electrical draw and maintaining optimal engine temperatures across varying load conditions.

Built around a 16-inch curved-blade design, the Tornado fan delivers 2175 CFM of cooling capacity at 12V DC operation, making it suitable for street and mild performance applications. The curved-blade geometry improves airflow efficiency and reduces noise compared to flat-blade designs, while the reversible push/pull mounting configuration adapts to various radiator and chassis layouts. The complete installation kit includes mounting hardware and the thermostat control module, eliminating the need for separate sourcing; the compact 3.875-inch thickness allows fitment in tight engine bays without major modifications.

This kit benefits hot-rodders, classic car restorers, and street machine builders facing inadequate cooling from original equipment or space-constrained radiator selections. Modern LSx swaps, LS conversions, and engine transplants commonly rely on electric fans to maintain water temperature in non-original chassis. The thermostat control prevents unnecessary fan cycling, extending motor life and reducing battery drain on extended cruises. For straightforward bolt-on installation with minimal fabrication, the 16in Tornado Fan and Thermostat Kit delivers professional cooling performance without the complexity of custom wiring or external relay integration.
