Re: AC and fanzilla question

[turbodmc@xxxx]

Ok, I decided to put my 2 cents in. regarding the Fanzilla and the 
price. 
I am en electrical engineer BTW.

When I first got my Delorean and heard about why there was a need for 
the Fanzilla and what it did I went to the shop manual and looked at 
the schematic diagram, in less then 10 minutes I had about four 
different designs drawn up and started bread boarding a few from 
parts I already had. I asked Rob Grady if I could look at the inside 
of the fanzilla because with my background I was capable of making 
something like this myself from parts I already had and for me it 
seemed like a lot of money for something I could build myself. After 
looking over how the fanzilla is manufactured and designed I realized 
that even though I was capable of building a device that would 
accomplish the same type of function, it really didn't pay for me to 
make one because it would not be of the same quality as a 
professionally manufactured product. 

I think that everyone would agree that the fanzilla is the best 
product on the market and that's why it is more expensive. It is a 
you get what you pay for item. 

In fairness to John I think he is trying to offer a lower cost 
solution and we shouldn't fault him for that.
I think that one problem is that with such a small market in the 
first place it will always be difficult to introduce a new product to 
the Delorean only market. 

I don't think we should discourage anyone from trying to make new or 
improved Delorean products, there are a lot of smart and talented 
Delorean owners out there and we should encourage all of them to use 
there talent and knowledge.

I agree the FanZilla is quite costly, but it DOES address more that 
one problem;by staggering the Fans with a delay the "PowerKick" on 
the engine dissappears,the Fix probably (I can't be soure due to lack 
of experience with the fix) doesn't and you'd still feel your car 
hold back as both Fans and the A/C compressor
kick in all together...
