Default Best HVAC blower

Greetings everybody, been a while since I've posted my 94 Saturn SL2 died a horrible death when I didn't put enough Loctite on the intake manifold bolt and so it backed off right after doing the timing chain replacement and destroyed the motor. The rest of the car was not worth saving because of rust in the back door but I got a 2002 Saturn SL1 which I find to be excellent to drive.

anyhow, I replace the blower motor not too long ago in the car but it doesn't seem like it's got the same kind of air flow and I'm wondering if people have tested different blower motors to find what does have the best air pressure / air movement / however you want to write that.. any help would be awesome.

thank you very much for your help!

Make and model of what you put in?

Personally I'm an OEM kind of guy, but what show is up in the AC Delco professional boxes now is basically the highest bidder from the aftermarket world since AC Delco is not making their own parts anymore for the professional line as far as I know. I've gotten some pretty crappy ACDelco professional parts labeled with other manufacturer's names.

So getting an AC Delco professional right now does not guarantee that you get the same blower that was in their originally.

Only someone who is not in any way happy with what they bought would have gone through a comparison, in all likelihood. At least I don't remember any such posts on the forum, but then again I lose my cell phone every 10 minutes

2002 Saturn SL1 - 5 speed - AC - no cruise control no traction control no abs.- front desk rear drum brakes. And that was a nightmare of just over 300 bucks to replace the rear brake line. But they did both metal rear brake lines.

I actually knew that about AC delco, which is why I just went with the Amazon special blower motor, we needed to replace the motor because it was almost winter it was getting cold out and we needed the air to flow over the heater core to keep the car warm. Now that it's summer and it's hot out, we're just hoping to get a little bit better flow and wondering if anybody had any positive results with product X is better than product y kind of deal but at the benefit of bare minimum it works.

Usually but not always, you get what you pay for. Well, that used to be true. Sometimes now you just get ripped off
