E-Fan question

I searched and couldn't find anything.. Prolly searching for the wrong thing but i was thinking about buying a E-Fan kit off amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/PROCOMP-ELECTR...YE/ref=lh_ni_t

Its 4000CFM will that be enough?? I currently live in the Mojave desert of California so it gets extremely hot here.

Sorry for the dumb question.. thanks in advance

Search seemed to work fine for me:



Try a little harder next time

Its lot cheaper to go to the JY and get something that works for a lot less. You need
at least 2000 CFM I think to be safe.

u have too many tabs open there tim. but i agree, just get one from a junkyard. many use ford taurus fans. got mine off a 93 mitsubishi galant. either way, u'll have to come up with a way to mount it to the rad.

4000 CFM would be enough, but that kit is only 2000 CFM.

Also I would look for something with a shroud.
Makes it much more efficient.

Get a 3.8l Taurus fan, wire low speed on constant and wire the high speed to a thermostatic switch. The fan shrowd will need a little trimming. It works awesome for me.

you can wire the low speed constant with the high speed on a switch? dang, wish i knew that, I'd have wired the HS already!
