you dont need any specific fan just one that fits the radiator. they you need a switch and a some wire to get it going . and yet it makes a difference at least i noticed on my old ae86.

I would recommend using the search function, this is something that pops up a lot and is usually left open to your own tastes. Most people swear by Taurus fans, others MR2, ect..

What you really want to look for is a good fit, high CFM, and things like how will you make a shroud for it to increase cooling efficiency.

the taurus e-fan is basically a straight bolt-on, i had to cut two of the corners on the shroud for my radiator hoses. it works great, and there's plenty of them at the junkyards.
