FD Electric Fans

Ok for some reason the site is not allowming me to search, so I am sorry if this has been covered already....

I am looking at getting an electric fan to clean up the engine bay and I was thinking about the Stock FD electric fans.

1. How does it flow compared to the stock viscous fan?
2. Does it fit? And what needs to be done to wire it up and make it work?
3. Anyone know of a decent/average price for the fans?

just get a regular aftermarket fan.. those fans wont cool your car enough.. many FD's upgrade themselves or at least do a wireing mod to them to keep them on high the whole time.. just go grab a 16" permacool and youll be set.. and i am sure the stock fan you have on there will flow more

the FD fans flow..........

The mods change when they turn on (miata thermo) and at what speed (rewire).

Hmmm I thought it had been done before.... Well if it is no better than the viscous, then I guess I will not bother with it then...
