e fan
I used a cheap 2000cfm ebay fan got it for under 30 bucks. I havent had any issues with it at all I daily drive my car and have put about 15000 miles on it since install. Make sure you use a thermo switch so you dont need to toggle it. My car is a gsl-se with a gilmer drive and the ebay fan was slim enough to fit between it and the rad. I have a racing beat header with no heat sheild so it gets hot under the hood and i havent had any cooling issues.
I hope this helps good luck.

Anything that has more than 2000 cfm will work well. A lot of folks get the taurus efans from
early nineties taurii and run them on low. Works well. I have a dual fan setup from a MR2 GEN I
(early 80s vintage) that works really well and is setup redundant, so that a single failure won't
cause both fans to fail.
I've heard bad things about the gilmer setups wearing front eshaft bearings and such
prematurely. Also they make a lot of noise. I can see using it for a blower I guess.

The belt on my gilmer drive has zero deflection and also is quiet until 6k RPM. The gilmer drive also means I never have to worry about my water pump not being driven under hard acceleration. For anyone not using a/c or an air pump, I whole heartedly recommend a gilmer drive over a dual belt setup, for longevity and reliability.
