Do I need the fan?
I have a non-running 1986 Rx7, it doesn't have a fan right now, and I need to know if I REALLY need a fan, so I can go buy one. Also, if I do need the fan, can I use a TurboII (s5/s4) fan? or a s5 fan?

if you plan on stop and go driving then yes you NEED a fan. Go buy an electric one that fits in the stock shroud, you'll free up some power and you wont sound like an airplane.

Unfortunately there is no power gain from an electric fan. It's lost by the extra load put on the alternator to pump out the amperage needed.
But yes. Get a fan if you plan to drive anywhere or else you are going to ruin your motor.

ok thanks.. well i know it was a stupid question, but i saw a few engine pics of rx7's with no fans (found it kind of odd, so i asked), i was pretty sure i needed one though. anyways, can i use one from a tII or a s5?

if u see one with out a fan look closer..you will see a efan all close up to the radiator. yeah i think a fan from a TII is the same..and im almost positive a s5 one is...just put it on there..see if it clears the shroud and if it bolts on..if so..then it works.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
FWIW< I am the seller of the fan in the pic, and many of the other small ebay parts. IF you have an 86-88 model, a fan from any other 86-88 model (turbo or nonturbo) will fit. 89-91 (nonturbo and turbo) fans are different, and will not fit your car.
IF anyone needs a fan, I have plenty of each version available.
