Electric Fan
Hi Guys,
I need some advices on which Electric Fan I should use on my starlet that now has a 12a rotary stockport. The space is somehow limited and I will need the smallest fan that will keep cool and running with no issues the engine.
I was looking at this one on summit racing:

will this one be enough for it ???
Thanks.

Oops, not good. You need 2000 cfm+, depending on radiator and engine mods. I had a 1200 cfm fan on my FC. Sucks driving around town in 95*, with the heater on full and still seeing the temp gauge climb. That fan lasted about 3 days before I went back stock. I suspected that your might be over rated due to it's size.
I'd go with this fan.

I'd go with this fan.

Maybe is better to remove the little one in the front and buy something like dual fans with 2.5k cfm ??
What happens if the fan's width is larger than the radiator ? lol can I still install them like that ?

If you build a shroud to contain and manage the air flow, you could run dual fans that are 2-4" wider than the rad. May not look elegant but should work. What radiator are you using? The only auxillary fan I've seen on a 7 is the one on the TIIs with AC. I've never seen specs on those.
I often watch the Sat morning car shows on Spike, they've built some very nice shrouds on custom installs. Wish I had all those tools/machines to play with.

I had a small fan in front of my radiator on my autox RX-7. That was a horrible setup. I put the stock fan setup back on - now no worries.
Take trochoids advice and use a shroud such that you pull air through most of the radiator - not just at the area in front of the fan itself.

Ok the radiator is 22 w x 14 h.
This is the fan that is installed in the front of the radiator.
Can I use this one in the front and get another one for the rear ?
As you can see in the first 2 pictures there is not too much space left betweeen the radiator and the engine, the radiator is just thrown in so it might look worst than where it is supposed to go.

There are many ways to route it up, with a thermostat, through the waterpump housing, switches, ignition, etc. I have it on a switch so I can turn it off on the highway. Tim used a emission switch on the transmission, and it cuts off whenever he is in 4th or 5th gear.

Get a ford taurus fan. Put it on low speed and have a 30amp relay. The only thing you need to do is cut the bottom right corner a bit for the lower radiator hose. Best fan out there, and it was 12$ with a warranty from a junk yard. Had that on my car for over a year now, and never gets over 1/3 of the way up the temp gauge, even when on track.

EDIT:
Can you please post a link of one of the ford taurus fans you are talking about? I am seeing a lot on ebay but they look very big to me
