Fan/fan Cover
#13
Hey thanks guys . I love compliments, they mean a lot to me .
Racer X - Actually, I dont know what kinda fan it is. I put down that its a Black Magic in my sig, but thats a lie. I didnt know what the call it, and saying "electric fan conversion" just didnt sound that cool, lol. The fan came with the car (thrown in the back no less) when my Dad got the car from the junk yard as my "project car". You can read all about it by clicking the link in my sig.
DF - Yeah, I removed a lot of the yellow split loom. Theres still some in there, but its a combination of yellow and black now, lol. As far as mods, youre right, I pretty much dont have anything else to do to it, lol. I was honestly thinking about it the other day while thumbing through one of my catalogs, and I couldnt really think of anything else to get for the darn thing as far as the engine goes. I need to work on suspension and brakes now. After thats done, I think I see a T2 swap in the future .
As far as pictures, Ill go take some more in just a few minutes after I write this and make a new thread so were not hijacking this one anymore than we already have .

Take a measurement of how much room you have to spare before the electric fan is bigger then the radiator itself.
Goto the junkyard with your handydandy notebook (inside, have the measurements you took like stated above) and a tape measure.
Scour the junkyard like a fiend for undamaged electric fans that fit the bill.
Remember to take the measurement from the radiator to the pulley that you orginal MAZDA fan used to bolt up to cause ALOT of the stock fan motors are HUGE.
Truck / SUV's have BIG fans... Small economical cars have dual fans to cool the radiator and AC condensor. I'm sure you'll walk out of there w/something for under $50.
Summit has a sensor kit from Painless wiring that can wire up your electric fan/s so the temp of your coolant will kick the fan/s on or off when necessary.
Thats what I did, aside from making up mounting brackets for whatever fan you score this can be done for under $100 easy. And it'll free up 1-3 HP...
But this you probally already know... I just feel like typing... and making my first post.
