Blower motor question

Has anybody figured out a way to make the blower motor run faster in a '92 camaro? I mean honestly, it should put out double of what it does, it just doesnt seem enough. Especially in the florida heat, it just doesnt blow enough cold air to cool you off. Is there another motor I could use without too much fabrication, or should i just run some real thigh gauge wire to it? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

This is a frequent complaint (I purchased a new motor and was quite pleased with the outcome--probably because my fan was 20 years old or so). A is always a good idea on this site. Wecome by the way.

I didn’t do a search but I did do a quick scan of what was posted. Must of missed it, I did buy a new motor and it still blows a little pathetic I am thinking or running some thicker wires to the blower may this will help. My other thought is to use a motor from an electric fan. There is room but I was hoping someone already did all this I know a motor like this will pull a lot of amperage.

No vacuum leak no leaks anywhere. I just want a way to put more air out. I am going to the junkyard this weekend I am thinking of pulling the motor from a ford tours. It puts out 6000 cfm I am also planning on fabricating a more efficient squirrel cage. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

i would have to say theres a good chance theres a restriction of some kind inside the system or a door not opening up very much or a mouse nest or something else going on, yours should be putting out as good of air as one that does put out good air, like they were when they were new

something has happened over the years in the system to restrict it

common problem, happens all the time

and it sucks

hope you figure it out

I agree with fast68,is there any restiction in airflow at the evaporator core?I know if they leak,the oil will tend to trap unwanted debris there.

Wait a minute, you mean putting a blower motor from a Ford Taurus?

Is it a direct fit?
Will it require any mods?

If that works, then you have solved a problem that many a third gen owner have faced.

PLEASE respond back if you get this to work, I would LOVE to get into my car, and have a nice refreshing WOOSH of cold air as I get seated.
