so i plan on installing a electric fan with a auto switch to help with cooling, and was wondering if i should keep the shroud and under pan, or can i ditch them. also, any reccomendations on fans/size. thanks

 

Most people buy fans out of junkyard from a taurus or fiero. They include a shroud built in, so you could get rid of yours. Some people buy the black magic fan, which alot of people feel is a very good product. I believe that you can pick up the switch at Auto Zone or any other large auto parts store. Also, Victoria British has them but I am not sure what brand it is off the top of my head and most likely you could buy it at a close price and get it sooner somewhere local.

 

If the fan does not have a shroud keep yours on, as far as the undertray keeep it on also it aids in cooling also. REcommended fan size for these vehicles is usually the black magic one
which is rated at around 2200 cfm, but others on the forum have used fans out of different vehicles, do a search and see what everyone has been doing. rx7doctor

 

cool, thanks.

 

Heh, interesting to note that the Taurus 2-speed V6 fan is really common for Toyota pickups too . I got one for mine the other day for $8 at the yard, with both ends of the plug so I can solder wires to the leads and utilize the stock plug on it too . Havent installed the damn thing yet though.

I would leave the shroud on, or leave the 'frame' of it there. A fellow rotorhead was having some issues with his radiators seperating and it didn't occur until he removed the shroud.

 

yeah, i think i'm gonna get an aftermarket unit and mount it in the stock shroud.
