Hippie Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 Do the 3.4 DOHC cars have different radiators, fans or fuel pump than 3.1 equipped cars ? Thanks. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 They do, at least my 94 does. I think the 3.1 alternator and fans should work though. I would upgrade the fuel pump for the 3.4. Quote
fleetwoodguy79 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 The 3100 has the same fuel pump as the 3.4 DOHC. Part #'s are the same. Quote
patgizz Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 fans are same, alternator is the same but with the case clocked differently, fuel pump i dunno, and the radiator for the 3.4 was thicker than my 91 lumina's 3.1 radiator but the same thickness as my 94 3.1 radiator. Quote
Aaron Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 fans are same, wrong the fans are not the same between a 3.4 and the 3.1. the are interchangable as far as bolts and the slots go, but the wires are different. the 3.1 has the plug mounted right to the fan motor with the wire coming up to the motor. the 3.4 has about a 6" wire coming from the motor, then meets with the plug. and also, there is a similar plug type difference with the driver's side/passenger side fan. trust me, i just changed my fans about a month ago cuz my driver one went out. so i got a driver's side from a 3.1 '91 Lumina, and the plugs were, as described above, different. so then i bought a passenger side(supposed to be driver) from a guy online, but i had to splice the old plug in, but no big deal. as far as clearence and mounting, they are all interchangable, just electric plugs differ.

Robby1870 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 Okay, so Patgizz was right, the FANS themselves are teh same Robby Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 The fans on my 94 3.4 DOHC are completely different than the 88-90 2.8 and 3.1's. The 94's fan frames both have 3 fat webbed legs while the 89 and 90 fan frames both have 4 skinny legs. 88-90 the top mounts attached to a fiberglass or plastic carrier above the radiator while the 94's fans are mounted directly to the radiator, the fiberglass carrier is omitted. I don't know if it's an engine difference or just model year difference. Quote
Robby1870 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 I think it might be a model year difference. On my sis's 96 Gp with 3100, the fans, *I think* looked different. Something you said Shawn about a 3 prong mount compared to a 4 prong mount. I'll check her 95 Monte with 3100 when she gets home to be sure Robby Quote
brian89gp Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 I think the fan moutning changed when they changed body styles in 94. Quote
patgizz Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 shawn, they dropped the plastic top radiator support in 94. Quote
Hippie Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Posted August 21, 2003 I should have specified between 3.1's and 3.4's in otherwise identical cars. Say a Lumina Euro and a Z-34 of the same year, but you guys have given me the info I was needing, thanks again. Quote
