summit racing has a nice metal one... i cant remember the exact name... i think its perma cool or something like that... look at www.summitracing.com and you'll see it... thats a BAD *** fan, and it flows alot... It also looks good!

 

hes talking about the 16" Permacool "finger chopper". go to summit and search for "permacool 16 in". it will bring it up.

 

Yea thats it... lol my friend did cut his finger on that fan too... LOL!!!!!!!!

 

88 dollars this seems like a much better fan than the black magic one for 165. Am I right or wrong? Lets get a permacool/blackmagic war going here

 

Someone didn't do a search!

The Fiero fan. It's cheap, it flows a LOT of air, and it comes with a shroud, which the others do NOT.

Black magic does I believe. And they sell shroud stuff for like $10 I think.

 

I found the perfect fan to fit the stock Mazda radiator. 1995 Ford Escort fan, 1.9 liter engine. Expect to pay about $30-$40 from a junk yard for this beauty. It brought my coolant temp from 210* to 165*, and I am not exaggerating. The key to an efficient fan is the shrouding. This one has shrouding that almost covers the entire radiator core on the Madza. I don't know what CFM it pulls, but it's like a hurricane under the hood! Pulls about 25-30amps on High. (It has an internal High and Low setting, very nice). Here is a picture of it mounted.

 

Your car is running already? I bet its fun with that GN setup.

My fingerchopper fan is now called the catchopper since my stupid *** cat fell asleep under my hood. You can figure out the rest.

 

i cant find a fiero fan in my local junkyard or ebay or the fiero forum!
do you know any other place to get one!

 

personally, my rx7 is my project, which I put a lot of hard work into. I dont want to junk up my engine bay with used pontiac parts, just a personal preference. In my opinion, the permacool not only looks GREAT, but it flows just as well as anything with a shroud, if not better. Im not saying the Fiero fan wont work, because it will, well at that, Id just rather spend the extra 60 bucks and get something new.

 

I have two fans. The catchopper pulling and the little stock one pushing. When I still had the underhood insulation, it blew little chunks of it off. With the hood open. You can put your hand in front of my grille with the fans on and feel the air moving in.

 

lets settle this one and for all !!!!

will the permacool cool a rotary correctly ?what size ?
and what other fan will work?and do they come with a shroud?

i know the black magic will but its expensive!!!

i think u need to copy and paste for the links to work

 

you pics dont work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

LOL...cat chopper!

VMB...permacool will work fine and looks great. you need the 16" fan. all of the fans listed in this thread, from the fiero fan to the black magic, all a matter of preference.

 

thanks guys !!!!! I think I'm gonna go with the permacool one! I really appreciate all the help!
thanks

When trying to view "angelfire" URL's, you need to cut&paste the URL's.&nbsp You can't just click it and expect it to work.&nbsp Stupid way to prevent cross-hosting I guess.

My 2 cents, I recommend Spal fans.&nbsp Made in Germany and some of the toughest and higest CFM rated electric fans in the automotive industry...

The only place that comes up with a web search is here...
