E-fan options
I've been looking at the e-fan upgrade, and have heard quite a few different ways to go. I know of the Taurus, Fiero, and Pontiac 6000 fans, and there's aftermarket ones too. Which one has the best shroud setup? Which one will push the most air?

I have FD fans on my setup because i am running an oddly sized AFCO radiator. If you have a stock radiator or direct replacement that will allow you to run the stock fan and shroud, do that, it works very well.

3600cfm at 10amps works great as a puller 16" diameter

it has the direct surround around the blades but not a larger shroud.. I never see temps over 1/4 which puts it at just as effective as the stock clutch fan was

Well, I remember reading about a Black Magic fan that was supposed to be the best since the shroud for it was perfect, and it had a built in thermostat, and it was supposed to cool better than the stock clutch fan. I know the built in thermostat would be very key to have since you only want the fan to run at low speeds or idle and shut off once the car is moving. There's just so many options I didn't know which was the best route to go....

Follow those instructions and your decision has been made. No sense wasting thought process on it when someone else has already done the legwork.

Alright, I read through your link about the myths of an electric fan, and found it useful. I still want to go with an electric fan after reading it. For fan choice, I am leaning towards the Black Magic 150 because it has a shroud that almost perfectly fits the 2nd Gen, has a built in thermostat, and pushes enough CFM to cool the motor. Besides this fan, are there any others that possess these qualities?

I just so happen to have a used Black Magic 150 for sale. I'll PM you and we can talk.

Yea, of course I've also read the Taurus, Fiero GT, and Pontiac 6000 fans work too. My reasoning for wanting the Black Magic 150 is because it has the thermostat built in, along with a shroud that almost perfectly fits the FC radiator, and will push more than enough CFM to cool the car. Are there any places to buy the Black Magic fans besides Summit?
