This installation kit seems cool, although pricey:

That way you can adjust the temp where it comes on.

How loud is the Taurus fan? Also, if I unplug my stock E-fan, the "cooling fan" light comes on. How do I avoid that?

Leave it plugged in? Or probably jumper the connector with a short jumper wire. But if you have the cooling fan, I would leave it as a secondary fan (assuming the alternator can handle the load, you can never have too many fans...)



As for how loud, dunno. Our trucks are pretty freaking loud to begin with (much louder than the Sevens), but any FWD Jap car with an e-fan is loud (go sit outside the local Gas 'N' Gulp at the Camry's parked with the engine idling and the AC on, when that fan kicks on, it sounds like a dead cat was caught in there!)

The Mazda e-fan is a little piece of crap, so I probably wouldn't be keeping it. I doubt it does anything at all, since it's not shrouded.

Yeah, there are lots of options (BeCool, FlexALite, Black Magic) but the Taurus fan is $35 with wiring and maybe even the connector harness. Less money in the fan means more money in the pocket (or intake, or exhaust, or computer, or alimony https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR )





Assuming you can find one https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png but I bet the 2 wire, single speed fan is good enough, and there are dozens of those in any boneyard.
