The FMIC kits I've seen don't interfere with the radiator at all.

hey rx7raca Thanks for Ending that I was repeating myself numerous times and it was like no one was listning thats the only reason i ever get pissed on this forum just cuz the simple facty that ill clarify what i sayd very clearly and yet what i previously sayd will keep coming up even thoug ive already corrected myself. Anyways I have a fiero fan but have not installed it yet. I like it cuz it gives you plenty of room in your engine bay. its not so cramped. ive also removed my PS Which frees up more room to. after i removed the PS i did feel a slight difference in how fast my car took off off the line but not anything to brag about. i hate having to take the shroud off all to get to stuff cuz the only way to get it on/off is to remove your rad. hose(at least on mine) meaning i have to add more coolent.

I'd really like to keep the stock fan/shroud setup but if I have to, I will go with an E-fan.
If at all possible, if the new Greddy Vspec or Rspec doesn't require you to remove the shroud, leave it alone. I guarantee you'll see higher temps. without the shroud and electric fan. I had to buy a thicker radiator due to the higher temps. Yes, I am using a electric fan.

I am pretty sure that I am wrong and this is a stupid idea, but I though it would be neat to have two smaller fans with their own ducts to a vented hood that looked like the later GT40's.
Thank you for the thread hijacking, I would now like for someone to answer my question. Please no more posts about if electric fans are better/worse than a stocker.

Thanks

Not to mention a clutch fan will take your arm off while an e-fan might stop after a finger or two =/

If you end up doing an electric fan mod, get a bigger alternator (Series 6 will work) ... And then replace battery cables and the like..

You won't regret it, and you're going to need it especially if you add any more electric toys..

I already answered your question: Fluidyne. People have also had good luck with the Koyo.

As for two e-fans, yes, you can just add up the CFM if they are paralleled.

Sorry for jumping your **** Black13B but I already stated that the alternator was taken care of, just my dumb *** spelled it wrong.
Rockin Aaron, I must have glanced over the part about adding the CFM if they are paralleled.
