Electric fan
Hey guys, other than the stock fan, can you guys think of any small fans that can be installed in front of the radiator to be work as an aux fan?

Anything that fits could be used, just make sure it’s configured as a pusher, not a puller.
Why do you think you need one? The stock mechanical and electric ones are more than sufficient. If you’re having cooling problems and both fans work OK, you have a problem that needs diagnosis, not a band-aid.

Geez did you want an electric fan in addition to keeping the stock pulley fan, and put the electric fan infront of where an A/C condensor is located so it can push air or did you want to install it in front of the pulley fan which is kind of useless. You mention aux fan so I assume you're retaining the pulley fan.
BTW I think all RX7s had pulley fans, and a few even have the little pusher fan infront the a/c condensor.

Do you have A/C? I thought all RX-7's with A/C have the auxilary electric fan in front of the condensor. If you don't have A/C, you don't really need one. The main fan should be sufficient.

I believe the pusher fan only came in the auto, prolly cuz of the extra heat built up from cooling the tranny's atf. But like you said, stock fan and e-fan are pulling enough air to cool the NA unless you have a clogged artery

The auto and the TII had the pusher electric fan.All the other manual n/a cars only had the clutch fan.I would just ditch the stock fan completely and get a good electric fan set up as a puller.Like the Perma-cool or the Black Magic.I have the Prerma-cool and have had no problems even with the air on,and it is the only fan in the car.I may have a stock electric fan I could part with.I'll try to check and see in the next couple of days.
