Fan shroud mishap...
 

Ok, so last night while racing my friend in his ZX3, I launched at like 3200rpm and heard a loud noise and a but of whining... it turned out that the brackets for the fan shroud broke off and it killed my stock fan... so, now I guess I am going to electric... what is a good fan to use?

I would say your motor mounts are shot as well... I think your motor twisted so far that the fan came into contact with the radiator shroud..

Better fix this problem first......

For an N/A the Flex-a-lite black magic 150 should do the job nicely..

for a Turbo.. I'd satep up to a 180 or go with vintage air's monster fan (3700 cfm)

Watever you get, make shure it pulles at LEAST 2700 CFM and that it has a shroud.

The stock fan from a late 90's v-8 Taurus, Lincoln, etc. work well also.. Some guys do the fiero fan but, fiero fans are getting pretty OLD as they sit in the junkyard.

for a fan i would go with flex a lite's black magic fan #150 i am thinking of getting this fan for myself

hey the fans you said for turbo are you talking about the flex a lite's 180 fan that has Maximum Fan CFM of : 3300

My motor mounts still have some meat, but my transmission mount took a crap... I am planning on replacing all of them in two weeks though... but you are correct.

rotary ressurection sells some e-fans for 25.

Yeah... the 150 just isn't big enough to cool a turbo car IMO... the problem is that it only covers 2/3 of the radiator.. and that can be a serious flaw expecially if you have a front mount IC... (like Me ;) )

the 180 will cover the entire radiator and pulls 3300 CFM.. that should make a BIG difference in cooling efficiency. It MAY require a bit of modding to get it to fit under the top tube on the rad, but i dont think so.. but thats just a matter of cutting and fiberglassing a small part of the shroud.. if it comes to that!!!

You know, there is another thread on the same page asking the same question. AaronCake mentioned that GM e-fans are almost a direct fit at a fraction of the price of these other suggestions.

Take a look at the other thread.
