question about electric fan (I tried to search)
 
It seems like I have seem some people use fiero electric fans is this a worthy fan for the job? If it is not then what would be a good e-fan for my 89T2

I tried to search but each time it never even finished the search.

Thanks,
Josh

I have heard of some people using the Flex-A-Lite Blackmagik #150 electric fan. Yeah... the search option has been ass in the last couple of days. I feel your pain. :p:

yeah I am just tryin to check out all my options and with the search feature down that certainly isnt helping :)

I just searched the 2nd Gen forum for "e-fan" and got 535 hits...

The search feature has been really flaky as of late. No one is denying that there are a lot of posts about electric fan setups Problem is what good do the posts and information do if you cannot get to them via the search engine?

im using a ferio fan right now and havnt overheated in it yet. i used it in the summer at temps getting over 90 dagrees. it works great with a adjustable thermostat.

WAYNE88N/A 03-28-04 11:20 PM

fan from an '88 Grand Am also works great...

just curious how well would the fan from a markVIII work?

understand it is a heavy heavy duty fan something like 4000+cfm I think

would need a FD alt though to run it

know it is overkill but anyone know about it?

im using a fan from a early 90s-ish dodge shadow. Fit like it was made for the rx7

I have a Fiero fan mounted inside the stock shroud. Looks very nice and clean. Grabbed an adjustable thermostat for like $20 from Advance Auto and the fan from the junkyard.

After getting my Autometer gauges wired up this past weekend, I was able to tune the thermostat in to kick on and cool down around 195-200F and turn off at 180.

The fan only took a minute or two to lower the temp once on....so I think it does a good job.

my buddy has had a fiero fan in his car less than a month and the motor started to go and kept popping fuses...back to clutch fan until he gets a black magic later. not worth the chance that the used oem 10-15 yr old fan will die and overheat your car in my opinion.

Aaron, thanks for the study session! I guess my thoughts were kinda blurred and now I see that I may not need an Efan or even want one for that matter. As far as the installation goes that would not be a problem I have a very good understanding of electronics and wiring although I appreciate the link to the proper efan install. I would how ever like to clean up that engine bay a bit but I am hesitant to do so now. I guess I might just deal with the larger stock fan. I will probably just spend the extra money on a new Koyo Radiator hopefully this will work with the stock fan :)
