Thinking about converting to electric fan. any brands/sizes recommended? can you you still maintain the same temp? thanks

 

Flex-lite Black Magic 150, 160, and others
15" (covers the rad and oil cooler)
pulls 2800 cfm unloaded
"Can you you still maintain the same temp" ??? It will do the job, but you know that your mean and average temps would vary in a side-to-side comparison since you will have changed a major part of the cooling system. Just as it would if you got a less or more efficient radiator. It'll be fine.

 

Go for it. They do the job. In fact lots of people would say they do it better.

 

cool thanks guys, i'll go down see how much they're worth. its pretty much fit straight on? does anyone know of any comparisons between electic and belt driven fans? ive had my rx for about 5 years not regestered. i gutta do a couple more things to it then its road worthy woo!

 

You're gonna have to mount it and wire it.
It's not that difficult though.

Jose, any idea how deep that thing is? I have a black magic m150 that I ran on my car for years but now that I'm swapping to a 13bt is doesn't quite fit, I need something shallower and thats not a bad price....
As for the original posters question, electric fans work fine, the m150 is a good fan, fits nice and flows a lot of air.

 

1 to 1-5 HP Gain over well working Stock Fan Clutch Setup.
Versus 23-55 or more AMP Draw.
Get ready for a Alternator Upgarde?
This a 50-50 Vote if the Trade Off is worth it.
If your Stock Fan Clutch is Toast= Than yes the upgrade is worth it.
If not than I think the trade off ie AMPS versus 1-1.2HP gain is something to think about.

I'm sure I started something here I should not have.

Throw a FD alternator on there and you'll be big pimpin' all set!

 

Best upgrade out there for our Shittie 50-60Amp Stock Alts then go for the 2nd Gen Fuse Box Upgrade.
Now you will have the Extra Outlet for the Electric Fan Upgrade if you go that route. And some other Goodies.

I've been considering it. Once I get past getting the car solidly running as is stock with the motor swap coming up and all of the other standard maintenance needing to be done.

In my "write-up" thread I highlight all of the work to be done in the next 3 weeks. I was thinking of putting an e-fan in now during all of that but at this point that extra $120 for the whole fan setup and then wanting to simultaneously upgrade the alternator, fuse box, and coils at the same time would cost a fortune.

 

Was looking at the blackdragonauto electric fan, does anyone know if their's is any good?

 

Don't do it, its a pointless mod. The stock clutch fan and shroud are more than good enough to cool the engine, and the power difference is negligable.

I had 2 x 12" craig davies thermo fans on and they just couldnt keep the car cool on the track, swapped to a standard setup and haven't had any issues, car is just as quick as it was before and now I don't have to worry about a kill switch or killing my battery or alternator.

 

Not recommended. Iirc, it only flows 1200 cfm. I had one on my FC and it was overheating, city traffic 90*.

 

Okay cool, then is black magic the most recomended? I don't want a big *** clutch fan taking up most of the engine bay.

 

I have a used V6 ford taurus fan which covers the stock RX7 radiator very well (almost perfect size). It is a 2 speed fan, and flows over 4,000 CFM. These sell on ebay for over $60 used, and are considered one of the best elec fans. You can get wiring kits on ebay as well. I am looking to sell the fan actually, as I no longer have the rotary engine in my car, so PM me if interested.

 

What you want fir the efan setup

 

Nice! 9 year old thread and asking a guy who has not been on since 2012 if you can
buy his setup when he was only selling the fan and not the wiring.

 

Yah i actually didnt notice how old it was till you said somthing. I found a diferent one anyways

 

Well no $h!t Not like i would need the wiring anyway i can run. My own i aint totally dumb i dont need you pointing stupid things like i dont come with the wiring out

 

I thought new members needed 10 post to post in this section? So much for reading the forum rules.

 

Well maybe next time you wont think but you will know before speeking up 😈

 

Good luck making friends.

 

So a month later you come back to ur old post and are still hurt about something someone else pointed out to u? Is this a joke or are u drunk right now?

 

Sorry bro but i dont drink and not mad just think its funny how he points out it wouldent come with wiring whitch i said nothing about
