I was thinking of going electric also. With all of the horror stories I have heard about Mazda's overheating it has me thinking twice.



I have no fan shrod though which is why I thought maybe electric would be better, plus I like the idea of being able to leave the fan on to remove any heat soak in my engine bay.
The stock clutch fan will pull more air than any electric, but if your cooling system is up to par an electric fan can be a nice mod. Why don't you just get a shroud?

This is y im going with the Mairah electric fan conversion, its got everything,and a custom fan shroud that covers up all that nasty stuff inbetween the headlights. I know its $$$, but o well, i have heard all these horror stories to so im keepin it safe... And its custom for 7, so u know its good. Here's a couple pics from 3rotors car :sigh:

Yeah, that setup is pretty nice, but I've heard that it's just a black magic fan with a modified shroud.

Just keep an eye on your temps.
I have been. It hasn't gone over 1/3 of the way up on the temp guage. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png But then I live in Seattle, the last few days the high temp has only been around 45 - 50 degrees. It is in the summer I'm worried about. I take a lot of road trips out to eastern Washington, and it is not uncommon to get up to 100 degrees there. So only time will tell.

How much is the Mairah fan set up cost?

Yeah, that's alot for a fan.

ILUVMY88CABRIO 12-18-2001 11:51 PM
Yep. That is insane! that would buy 7 of the fans I got. I have a lot better things to spend my $600 on.

I think it's just a flex-a-lite black magic fan with a modified shroud. You can buy the fan for $190 and just use some fibergalss to make the shroud cover the entire radiator.

yea mariah is pretty expensive with everything. I was going to see if i could just order the shroud and get a good electric fan...
