A bit more on the clutch fan
I went a little deeper and found that the stock RX7 Turbo II fan is made to push over 5000 cfm's. And that it also if I understanad it correctly the fan also has something like an internal thermostat. I had an electric fan on my s4 from the prior owner and found my car had a grounding problem and would sometimes fail.. Well the genious wired the fan to the main fuse in the engine bay 
and wondered why at higher RPM's the car would die...
.... .. Anyhow even with an aftermarket intercooler and radiator with some modifacations to the fan shround the car cools like a dream on my clutch fan....
Now I havent added a fan to and rx-7 before but I did however put one one my buick Grand National and I used a Black Widow.. I think I got it from Summit racing but it has been a while but if I were to add one it would be the Black Widow... it has a rating of 5600 CFM's...

appologizing for no responce to help for 1 year
sorry i never replied to anyones help/advice for almost a year, I ran into personal and financial issues that diverted my attinion else where. i ended up going with the fan i mentioned earlier and it seems to work ok, but at times a little ify. with some kind of custom shroud made for it, im sure it would rock, which is something i havent done yet, but when i do i will share my results here. i hope anyone else that comes accros this thread can get what they need out of it. thank you all for your help.
PS; any other threads/posts i make, i will respond to in a timely manner, promrise!
