Was at the dealer a couple weeks ago(bought an 07 canyon)while looking under the hoods of some new 'vettes,noticed these now have an electronic controlled brushless fan motor -might be adaptable to thirdgen use once these start to appear as used parts

 

Probably requires a PWM controller as I bet they are variable speed.

 

Sure, but I'll bet that's not to difficult to overcome, especially if we just run them to be "on" or "off" like they run now.

I just wonder if the "brushless" motors are swappable?

And then overall, are they more durable or better in any other way than our current set ups, the lack of our cars currently not having a good shroud not withstanding?

 

TBH, putting a brushless fan motor in our cars would completely eliminate the need for a fan shroud. They will move that much air.

Ever seen the "real" electric supercharger? Made 6psi with a brushless motor last time I was following it (1 year+).

A brushless fan motor and controller would be nothing but good for a third gen, albeit pricey.

My 1/18th scale brushed rc car went 25mph on the stock motor, put a 8400kV brushless in it and 3 more volts and it goes in excess of 75mph.

 

Is this a fan on a motor or just a motor? Court it be retrofitted on to out factory style setups?

 

Should just be the motor, but it has to be appropriately sized for an automotive application.

The electric supercharger is a 24-48 volt system and a brushless motor coupled to the coldside of a turbo or compressor on a centrifugal supercharger.

The can on the brushless is sizable length wise, but they now have become more compact thanks to the promising nature of the brushless motor, as you can see with the usage on the new vettes.

Over the next couple years youll see a major uptic in usage of brushless motors in automotive.

However, the whole fan system/wiring would have to be completely redone. The current run through a brushless would burn down our cars wiring in a matter of pico-seconds.
