specifically for 1st generation RX7's.I don't want any cheezy generic aftermarket fan.I'm talking about a fan specifically designed for these cars.

Thank you

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't an electric fan kit made strictly for a 1st gen. I have twin 10" from Summit. They kick out about 900 cfm apiece. Needless to say, no problem with the cooling.

what i did was i just took a set of honda fans and modified them to fit.if you have a welder that you can use the sky is the limit.i cut them apart and relocated the brackets to bolt right up to where the shroud used to.sorry no pics yet.but it was easy so try that if you can get near a welder.

Hey Rotarybhp, wooffinn from downunder. No luck down here either on your fan kit made for gen 1. We have a few kits stating they are for them, but in reality they're a multifit unit. If you have to go aftermarket, make sure the unit has good shrouding and a decent switch. A lot of my customers buy the cheaper units which only have a wire trigger which fits under the radiator hose. Two main problems are one it looks like **** and two they're basically impossible to seal. Or as Rex84 said you might find a 'factory looking unit' and modify it to suit. Good luck!

I have a single 12 inch fan on my series one and I have no problem with cooling.

yeah, check out summitracing.com I picked up a 12 inch fan that mounts right to the radiator for $67.00 works very well!!

I don't trust electric I use a flex fan with no fan clutch. But you MUST use a Race quality Flex Fan. The RX7 WILL shoot a normal Flex Fan out of your hood. So get the fan with the 10,000 RPM limit insted of the 6,000(Normal flex fan)-Devon

B) Try www.victoriabritish.com they will send you a free catalog for RX-7, it has an electric fan kit in it and it might be what you are looking for.

the best looking fan setup i have seen and the highest CFM that i know of is the flex o lite "black magic" 2800 cfm and its a BAD BITCH. people think my car is still running when the fans on

and it has NO prob keeping my ported motor cool in 100+ ATL. Ga temps even with the A/C on..... and a nice wiring setup to.
