fan Q.

[-usmd-180sx]

hey guys.. was wondering if its worth purchasing 2 10" electric fans off this dude i know for 110 or buying a 14" permacool fan? lemme know what u guys think thanks :ughug:

just another option, i got a 14" e-fan on ebay for $55 shipped, and a flex-a-lite adjustable thermo for $40 shipped

depends on how deep your pockets go for "pretty" i have a 3.8l ford taurus non-sho electric fan in my car that cost a whopping 35$ shipped + autozone universal thermostat cost (20$ each) It puts out more air than the best flexalite we can put in our cars and almost as much as the clutch fan which is impressive (3500cfm vs clutch fans 4400~ or so max output and flexalites best in the 2xxx range) it doesnt look bad its just not as low profile as a flexalite setup.car-part.com is your friend.

but i bet its still smaller than the clutch shroud heh

yea no doubt it is still smaller and it makes things alot easier to work with, its just not as rediculously low pro as the flexalites seem to be. it sticks out just a few inches and its no big deal you can still get at stuff so much better... only thing is they sit a little higher where the intake pipe goes over so it creates a little bit of a pain if you use stock intake but if you boost and already route the piping your fine :-)

you can get brand new altima fans, 2 12" i believe with shroud for 80 on ebay.

icic.. so u think im gonna be better off wit the 2 10" rather than 1 14".. i mean its all prefference and it seems obvious to go with 2 rather than 1 but thats just me.. another Q. Would the stock bulky fan come off and the 2 electrics go on or does the stock stay on and i just throw the 2 electrics on my radiator? and i dont have a shroud coming with it.. is it that important. i mean ive been running without a shroud on my stock fan for a couple of months.. but it might not be so good

shroud helps out alot, am having a overheat problem myself, am using a 10inch and it just sucks while on the streets. I don't care about how much space they take up, if its the best method then am using it.
