I am wanting to set up an Electric fan on my 87 Turbo2.

I have read Aaron Cake's write ups about the Myth's and the how to's, but I dont know how dated that is.

I completly understand that an Efan will NOT out cool a stock fan. But I am in need of Engine space and am doing this mod anyways.

I wanna know, does anyone have any suggestions as to a certain brand of fan? What type pushes air the best?

Thanks alot

Search for finger Chopper for what ever brand that is.

I have heard good news about Black Magic as well.

DO NOT GET A CHECKER IMPERIAL FAN! They don't have enough CFM to push any air through our rads. I know from experience(Had a 16 inc one).

94 escort fan works very well. They have two speeds, fit almost perfectly over the stock radiator, and pull really hard. Both myself and a friend of mine have them on our cars, and they work great. He's got a greddy fmic on his and he still hasn't seen temps above 190, which is perfect.

how much does the stock mechanical fan flow?
The average eletrical i have seen is a 3300cfm, how does that compair?

It's completely up to date and accurate. If you're intent on doing this, follow his installation advice. Many e-fan problems are caused by half-assed installs.

I was just about to say that. I believe I posted it in Feb (or maybe early Mar).
