Looks good to me. I'm just using an old Taurus fan that cools just fine. That one will look good in the engine bay!

Depends on whether you have the short or tall rad

I have a 16" DERALE Electric Fan and fits fine if you have the oil cooler under the radiator. I have the oil cooler under the radiator and the fan also pulls air from a portion of the oil cooler.

My works great...

I Just Bought The Rx7 Its A 1984 Gs The Radiator Looks Brand New. And It Also Has The Lines For The Automatic Rx But Not In Use. Does That Help Determine If Its A Short Or Tall Radiator

do you have the beehive oil cooler or is there a separate oil cooler below the rad?

Does the oil filter sits on a bhibe type oil cooler right under the oil filter? if so then the fan will be to big...

Then the 16" electric fan should fit. It will be a tight fit but fit it will....

I will say this the 16" from DERALE fits, so that one should fit.... I had to cut the fan shroud at the bottom half so the fan would fit inside the shroud...

You will not see them on their site. You will need to call Dan Atkins. Get the phone number from the website then call and ask for Dan, or find the threat that he has on the first gen section regarding the clear turn signals....

Let's say it's closed to 10K....
Yes, the engine is a 12A Street Port Brand New from Mazdatrix
The oil filter is a CM Spin-on Filter with replaceble cartridges
