Electric Fan
This quote is from Kevin Landers...
"Another note is that the fans on the 1gens seem to run like hell, and sap a lot of power, no doubt. I recommend an e-fan. Not a POS autozone fan either. I use a shrouded fan, believe it or not fits the stock FC (and sa/fb) radiator very well. IT is from a 91-96 ford escort...it is shrouded, 16"+, has 3 speeds, and moves a SHITLOAD of air. Best of all, they can be obtained for $25-60 all day long at junkyards. I recommend this mod as well, and it should free up a good 5 more hp, especially on top end."
My stock fan is beat, and I need to replace it with an electric fan.
I wonder how hard it is to install the escort fan, and if it is alot like installing the black magic one (see links below). I'm also wondering how you run the escort fan - with one of those thermostats that go between the fins of the rad? Also, how would it switch between 3 speeds? Kevin - you out there?
I'm also considering the Black Magic like here http://www.wankel.net/registry/1st/TimSchuh/efan/
or here
