16" stock Fiero fan with adjustable temp controller.

Do a search for "fiero fan turboren" and you should come up with the instructions.

I dont care how many people boast about the black magic or are running it in their cars, it pales in comparison to the perma cool High performance fan. I run a 16" perma cool High performance fan (2,950 CFM) It is the highest flowing E-Fan made.

Wow, that vintage air fan definitely has much more flow than the perma cool.

But it wont fit on the stock radiator.

is it possible to run 2 efans one in place of the stock 'little pusher' and another in normal position, this way you could run 2 smaller (14") fans and have better cooling power than stock.

TED???

Dual 14" fans would mean 28" across - that's too side with the current stock radiator.&nbsp I believe the stock radiator is like 25" wide...

Youd have to find 2 tiny fans. Your better off getting a single high output fan like a black magic.

He's talking about having a pusher and a puller, not two side by side. I have the stock little one pushing up front, and my finger chopper pulling in the normal spot. You can put your hand in front of my grille and feel the air moving when they are on

If you have the a/c removed, you really dont need to stock electric fan. If its turning on, then your pullme electric fan thermo switch is too high.

Monster and Perma

How much amperage does that Monster pull? The website doesn't say (WARNING!).

The perma-cool pulls 9.5 Amps, the Black Magic is, I think 13?

The Black Magic comes with a shroud, the Perma-cool doesn't. Ther Perma cools costs a lot less. ($90)

Unless something better shows up, I'm getting a Perma-Cool (and making a shroud) when I get my 7 back on the road.
