Poll: Electric Fans
It's about time to find out what you're using (or would use) to replace that pesky engine-driven fan!
Especially interested in detailed comments about why you picked it, or things not on the poll...

Don't ask, SEARCH!
There was a post about this a little over a month ago, and I did a very detailed write up on why I chose the Fiero one and how to go about installing it. I think it's in the archives now, but just do a search and you should come up with it.

E fan
I got mine from Pep boys. It was dirt cheap. It works great so far. I have a 12 in the car and constantly both are on and I have never had any problems.

I would like to get an aftermarket electric fan that does a good job at cooling and LOOKS GOOD. My engine bay is clean and I don't want a fan off of another junk car to bring it down.

I'm running the Black Magic because it has the most CFM that I found, and it can mount in my engine bay. It also has a built in thermostat that lets you turn it on from 180-220, then it isn't running all the time.
I am running it on my stock radiator.

I have the Perma-Cool "hand cutter" one that I turn on and off via an adjustable thermostat I got at Advance Auto Parts.It's been on the car 10 or 11 months now and works just fine.I pretty much go it becuse it was cheaper than the Black Magic and had the same cfm rating.

They have an excellent selection of fans. Used on many of the world's best race cars.
Oh yeah, from a cooling standpoint it is better to pull air through your radiator than push it.

the n/a i just bought has a black magic, it's nice to, but i didn't have to fork out the cash for that fan.
