*Tried to find a cooling thread but no luck*

Hey Zilvia, I have done research but cant seem to get the definite answer iv been searching for... My question is will a radiator + dual E-fans + dual fan shroud + air diversion shield work better then just oem radiator + fan clutch.

What i like to do is go with the combo below

The air diversion shield is still in question... Do these really help cooling enough for the price???

OR....

Should i just keep the original oem radiator with fan clutch.?

QUESTION : does the oem radiator have another fan between the fan clutch and radiator ???

I have the money ready for the isis package and the shield,

My goal is im looking for a clean look in the engine bay less clutter and junk sitting around.

I do not race my car but i want to keep that engine cool.

Im driving my car to Sebring about 160 miles away my biggest worry is that my cooling system might fail -_- thats why i want to uprgade to new equipment.

Input is always welcomed positive and negative, hit me up il be grateful. Even alternate ideas would be great

Whats for sure is i will be taking my car to Sebring and i need to replace my fan shroud.
Thanks guys

OEM Clutch Fan and Shroud is the best

If you want to go for a clean look remove the Clutch Fan and Shroud

and install some Altima Fans

I would probably be rocking a clutch fan still, if I could change the blades and make a shroud out if acrylic.

BTW Amazon has good prices on stuff. Got the Mishimoto radiator for my missile there for $149.

Here- Save yourself some money: 1995 - 1998 Nissan 240SX Aftermarket Aluminum Racing Cooling Radiator with Fan Shroud Combo : Amazon.com : Automotive (http://www.amazon.com/1995-Aftermarket-Aluminum-Cooling-Radiator/dp/B00AJX0NO6/ref=sr_1_81?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1357826652&sr=1-81&keywords=240sx+S14+radiator)

If you switch to an e fan, make sure you get a QUALITY e fan that pushes a decent amount of cfm.

id say keep it stock but definitely add the air panel and maybe some silicone hoses. as long as you keep up with your coolant you should be good. theres also collant additives you can add for your trip, such as "super coolant".

if you really wana be balzy about it, cough up the extra dough and go Mishimoto on the cooling setup. a little pricey at first but definitely goes a long way with their LIFETIME warranty

Stock clutch fan and shroud, unless your running something awesome like Mark VIII, or the 3300cfm permacool fan with a custom shroud. They just simply more more air.

Wise choice. FRSport sells OEM KA/SR fan shrouds.
