What about this post ?
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...highlight=efan I searched with "MR2 fan", "efan", and "Taurus fan" and this post showed up as well as a lot of others everytime. Jeezus did a good job of documenting the install. Give it a whirl. |

I would welcome your advice, however linking me to a search result url doesn't give me the list of links you saw...
I've spent quite a while searching specifically the 1st gen section for things like "efan" "e fan" "electric fan" etc and didn't find quite enough information to feel properly informed... however, mr miles' post was extremely informative and helpful. Here's what I did: 1. Open advanced search 2. Under search term I entered MR2 Fan 3. Under search by user name I entered Kentetsu (find posts by) 4. Where it asks you where to search, choose 1st gen specific And that's it... hope this helps. |
I dunno Mark and Tim, I'm still thinking the stock clutch fan is the way to go. Does a fine job and most folks already own it. Way easy to install.

I'm not a "fan" of the clutch type fans... they do funky things when they start to go. The one on my TII started causing so much vibration that I thought my bearings were on the way out. And they usually go out slowly, leaving you wondering what's going on when your temps start to creep. At least when an electric fan goes, you can look at it and say, "Welp, right there's yer problem." :icon16:
And the less stuff my poor little motor has to spin, the better. Speaking of which, time to go pull that power steering pump... |

Overkill. Additional drag on the engine.
Add an Efan and you'll be surprised at how much more "pep" the car has in 1st/2nd gears... |

$20 ebay fans, 2 of them. flow like 1500Cfm each. Fab your own mounting tabs out of some metal.
cheap as hell, easy to replace, and almost everyone I know runs them. From street cars to 350hp track only rides. |
Mr2 fans are my pref. Cheap, minimal fab work(understatement), and reliable
|
But we're neglecting the most important factor... which setup is LIGHTER?

electric fan felt slightly lighter to me if you include the fan shroud from the clutchin' fan. |
Nice tips on here, I'll be doing this soon too. Thanks guys!

Clearly you don't drive fast enough 100% of the time, we don't need fans at high speeds! no weight means less work so it runs cooler?! Right?!?!???!!

I remember when I swapped to electric in the FC I held a fan in each hand and couldn't really tell the difference. Unless the fan is cast iron like so much other crap in the engine bay then it's probably about the same. Still, both setups are lighter than a midget sitting on the bumper shoveling ice onto the radiator. Good luck Ben! |
Looks like MR2 fans are going for about 30 - 50 bucks on Ebay...
