Instead of a water pump-driven fan, some factory A-series Datsuns used an electric fan for a slight increase in fuel economy. It turns off/on via a thermostatic switch, thus some call it a "thermo fan".
Contents |
Overview
Thermo fans do not increase the cooling of the engine (the stock engine-driven fan works perfectly for that). Thermo fans - either electric or clutch type fan - save a few HP and so increase the fuel economy slightly.
Fan Comparison B310 standard fan: 310 mm B310 electric fan: 330 mm (for fuel economy) B310 clutch fan: 350 mm (for Aircon)
Be sure to fit the thermo switch in either lower hose or bottom of radiator. Remember, the water coming from the head is always around 82C/180F due to the engine thermostat. But the water coming from the bottom of the radiator is water that has already been cooled - so when it's not cooled enough, the thermo switch will switch the fan on. When it's cooled enough, the fan will turn off.
N10
You can fit the Datsun 310 (N10 Pulsar) fan into a 1200:
B310
The Datsun 210 (B310) "MPG" model featured an electric fan. MPG models had Manual transmission, chassis RSFU, RFN, from Sep 1980 with A14 engine w/o AC:
HLB310RSFU "R" 2-dr sedan "S" Standard model "F" Five-speed "U" USA Federal (non-California)
HLB310RFN "R" 2-dr sedan, "F" Five-speed, "N" Canada HL means: "H" A14 engine, "L" Left-hand-drive
Like other B310s it used a 13 psi radiator cap.

Presumably the lower temp switch is used with the standard 82C engine thermostat and with A14/A15 OPTIONAL 76.5 engine thermostat "For Tropical Zones" (76.5 was not used with E15S).
And the higher switch was used with standard 82C or 88C "For Frigid Zones" (A14/A15/E15).
The stock Datsun B310 fan Thermo switch specifications:
* Part Number 21595-M0206
* Nominal ON: 85-90C
* Spec ON: 83-87° C (181-189 F)
* Spec OFF: 78-81° C (172-178 F)
* used with 82C thermostat (88C optional)
Note that the thermo switch needs to go in the lower radiator hose. Do not use a switch in the cylinder head as the temp will never vary after the engine warms up (remember, the head is on the regulated side of the engine thermostat).
Aftermarket
The standard engine fan is 310mm (12.2 inch), so be sure to get an electric fan that is comparable.
The thermo switch should come on at or below the engine thermostat temperaure (normally 84/180). Remember, the thermo switch doesn't conrol the engine temp - the engine thermostat does. The radiator should run colder than the engine so it can be effective.

These are radiator-mounted switches. Instead of the extended-sensor type for use with a hose adapter they are low-profile type. The end only needs to touch the coolant whichever way you go.

B11, N12 fitted the temp switch directly into the lowest part of the radiator, using the same threads M16 x 1.5 as the A-series type.
