Its so nice and only costed me $35. I went to a lock junkyard and picked up a buick skylark e-fan. When home took it apart, washed it and put 3 coats of high gloss spray paint on it. Went on summitracing.com and ordered the e-fan radiator ties and wired it up. Freed up so much room and it doesn't sound like a truck or a jeep anymore. Its very quiet and i can hear the wankel music. And it has kept my temps at the same postions the whole time, it pulls mad air through the radiator. I recommend it.

I've never been able to get an electric fan to keep my motor cool. I always had to go back to the stock fan. I've tried dual 11" Be-Cool fans, the Flex_o-lite Black Magic fan, and the Perma Cool "finger chopper." I know somebody else who has had the same problem with a big radiator.

Stock radiator is a different story, being as you have a radiator the thickness of most peoples tires, it could be a problem :unsure:

That's what I was thinking, but it's not fair. I want an electric fan too. :(

I still have my Perma Cool fan. soul assassin has it on his 500+ RWHP car. So it seems like it can handle a high powered motor. I may try to test it with a stock radiator. I may go. I guess I have to decide soon.

I have the one that SR Motorsports sells. I believe it's a Mazdacomp radiator. It's not the "bolt-in" that they say it is, as many have seen from my hacked up fan shroud. It's better than what I had, but I think it may be too thick. Here's a picture of it with my old setup:

Man, my old setup sure was rigged up alot. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

If you go, we may have to clean up your car a bit, I thought a few of your friends were going also? I figured we could have a caravan of sevens, and travel together like gypsies.
