i wouldnt call the stock fan a "horsepower robber." that might be a bit of an overstatement.
as for the bridgeport, do you know what youre getting yourself into? i believe it can be done on S4s (with stock electronics) for the simple fact that judge ito did it, but he also knows a bit.
research bridgeports, they're nothing out of the ordinary for a competent engine builder.

Not just an overstatement, more like a load of BS.

demonRX-7, search for the dozens of e-fan threads to learn some facts before spending money unnecessarily.

Its true, the only reasons I switched to an e-fan are:

1) I first upgrded to an FD Alternator. (best upgrade ever)

2) It openend up ALOT of working room in my engine bay.

3) My stock fan was broken.

If not werent for those specifics, from what Ive heard, its better to retain the stock fan.

You can't have your Bridge porting with out your efan
