about to buy electric fan need suggestion's
 

i'm about to buy an electric fan for my 1989 rx 7 turbo II who makes some good fan's that will allow the radiator to cool good and what size will i i have any charging issues on the stock alternator because it's electric i also got a mild sound system in the car so i don't know if it will stress it at all

My suggestion would be that you stick with the stock clutch fan.

There is not an electric fan made that will work without adding a 15-20 amp extra draw and realisticly to get into the same ballpark of CFM, you will need an electric fan that has around a 30 amp draw.

really well i have a fd alt i want to put in but i want to get a rotor shaped pulley from higgi but he only has silver left i'd like a red one. will i be able to get a e fan then since i'll be pushing more amps and should be able to run a 30 amp one then right

Efans suck... my stock fan NEVER came on and my car ran exactly 165F all the time. After installing an EFAN the temps will rise untill the fan turns on... its deffinatly NOT worth the hassle. Especialy when the car holds a good constant temp on the stock fan without it even turning on.

Sentences! Punctuation! They exist for a reason... USE THEM.

Listen to Icemark. Unless you have a good reason for needing an efan, stay with the stock fan.

i guess the reason i went with the efan was to clean up the engine bay,.....stupid reason i guess

Making space in the engine bay for intercooler pipes & such is a valid reason. Cleaning up the engine bay is also a good reason.

91mazdarx7, a popular e-fan that I have seen alot of members run (myself Included) would be Flex-A-Lite's Black Magic #150. It has a maximum fan CFM of 2800! This Is easily accomplished with the FD Alternator btw. :)

Looks really good silverrotor. Really clean setup.

Thanks, although my newer setup will have my EB having the same colour as the rest of my car. My FC Is currently In several million pieces and cannot be Identified as a FC when viewed at a quick glance. :D

How do you have your e-fan set up, like, how do you have it kick on?

I have It at a pre-set temp via a dial. The 2nd pic on the left side of all the wires making It's way back to the Fan Is where the dial Is. The probe sits snug b'n the fins of my Koyo at around the lower Radiator Hose.

Nice :)

my e-fan works great ... only pulls 9 amps and it pushes 2100 cfm. the best thing about it is i only paid $64.00 for the fan and 25.00 for the adj. fan switch ... and a strong battery will cure the extra load on your alt.. i think if you trust the work you do its worth it . i also run a R.B. underdrive pully and it all works great ... have part # if you all would like.

i'm kinda interested in running an electric fan b/c i'm looking into v-mounting when i go turbo, stock fan wont work then, out wise id use it without a doubt. i love the stock fan

i want to get a e fan because i'm going to get a v mount fmic when i get the money for one and also am cleaning up my engine bay.

would you mind sending a link to where it can be bought for the cheapest it will hook up to the stock radiator right

Sure, I bought It at Sumitt 3 yrs ago. I see the cost of Inflation has gone up abit as I paid $30 cheaper than.

$199 eep! :eek: (plus shipping and handling to alaska)

anybody have any other fans that work good also? otherwise i might end up with this one.

that is a nice fan i will have to save up for it what all did you need to do on the installation it works on the stock radiator right

91mazdarx7, i just orderedthat fan, i should receive it in a week or so, after i install it ill maybe make a write-up. and ill tell ou hw it went.

will i have any cooling issues with a flex a lite black magic e fan if i start pushing out 350-375 HP will it overheat this is with a aftermarket radiator to

I was golden right up to when I had Installed my GReddy FMIC. :D

so in that post with your problem it was that the space between the fmic rad annd e fan weren't sealed so the fan wasn't pulling air through the fins on the rad therfore it got hotter running right? i was planning on getting a cf panel anyways so you think i'll be fine as long as i got the panel
