Okay, I know some of you guys run second gen radiators in your cars.

So I have to ask, do any of you guys use electric fans? And if so from what cars do you get them from?

I know that some of the first gen radiators people say to use an old taurus E-Fan; will it work just as well for the S4 radiator?

older mr2 fans work as well. not overly sure of size difference between second gen or first gen

you could also get a black magic fan (expensive) or other fans of correct cfm (very high) of that same brand.

Hmm... older MR2 Fans?

I work at the Toyota Dealership now, maybe I can convice one of the parts guys to give me a discount...

Anyone else have any experience with other set-ups?

Taurus fan FTW. Even on low setting it cools nice for me, if you use the stock S4 radiator, you might have to shimmy it a bit. Even if you stick it on high you will blow some hard air.

I've been running the MR2 fans for a few years now (I think I was the first to try them). I even ran with just one of them installed and never had an issue. Very strong for their size. I also am running a 2nd gen radiator with those fans...

Sweet! S4 rad or S5?

****, I dunno. Got it out of a junkyard car...

If you buy a new fan, look for one that pushes 2400 cfm. The Black Dragon one, for example, only pushes 1200, causing my 2nd gen to overheat.

I picked up my MR2 efan from the mr2 forum for $20.

i have 80s vette fans on my FC. they fit almost perfect. only took about five minutes of trimming the plastic shroud.
they are dual fans.and they MOVE some air.

80's vette? Where the hell do you find those?! lol

Anyways, so a minimum of 2400 cfm? Hmm...
