I am using a AC electric fan from a Nissan 240SX that I modified to fit on the SE radiator that has the oil cooler underneath and it does fine. I couldn't tell you the CFM of the fan but it feels to be comperable to the stock clutch fan. The temp gauge never goes above where it used to with the clutch fan either. hope that helps!

get one from a Taurus 3.8L. More CFM than you will ever need (around 3300 and two speeds)

I've got a pair of 10" fans on mine from Summit. They push about 900 cfm apiece.

I hear that fits the FC's rad but is to big to work on a FB.Do you think it'll fit on a SE rad?

I had got mine from an s13, but since the s14 uses the KA24de and the same radiator I will assume that an s14 one will work as well
