I have a non-running 1986 Rx7, it doesn't have a fan right now, and I need to know if I REALLY need a fan, so I can go buy one. Also, if I do need the fan, can I use a TurboII (s5/s4) fan? or a s5 fan?

 

*see attachment*

 

if you plan on stop and go driving then yes you NEED a fan. Go buy an electric one that fits in the stock shroud, you'll free up some power and you wont sound like an airplane.

 

Yes you do need a fan.

Unfortunately there is no power gain from an electric fan. It's lost by the extra load put on the alternator to pump out the amperage needed.

But yes. Get a fan if you plan to drive anywhere or else you are going to ruin your motor.

 

DURRR! Does a bear **** in the woods? Of course you need a fan...

I saw that fan on ebay I would pic it up but I'm not sure if the clutch is still good or not. you might want to ask first.

 

i have a s4 stock fan! (or 3) and shrouds and all the **** you might need...oh nevermind..yeah that fan in the pic should work..as long as it fits then it will work.

 

ok thanks.. well i know it was a stupid question, but i saw a few engine pics of rx7's with no fans (found it kind of odd, so i asked), i was pretty sure i needed one though. anyways, can i use one from a tII or a s5?

 

if u see one with out a fan look closer..you will see a efan all close up to the radiator. yeah i think a fan from a TII is the same..and im almost positive a s5 one is...just put it on there..see if it clears the shroud and if it bolts on..if so..then it works.

 

oh ok, makes sense now.. thanks for the info.

 

FWIW< I am the seller of the fan in the pic, and many of the other small ebay parts. IF you have an 86-88 model, a fan from any other 86-88 model (turbo or nonturbo) will fit. 89-91 (nonturbo and turbo) fans are different, and will not fit your car.

IF anyone needs a fan, I have plenty of each version available.

 

oh cool I've been a little scepticle buying those items that you sell only because I didn't know who it was. THought it was just some dude that didn't know anything about 7's well I am not scepticle any more. Glad to see its someone on the site.

 

what, my forum name hypntyz7 and the ebay username hypntyz...didnt ring a bell??

I am about to create a new ebay username anyway...
