Ok my fan clucth is gone! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif Now I wanted to go ahead and remove the engine driven fan and go straight to an electric fan https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif . Any one know of any write up or and other info an how to do this? I already got rid of that factory intake setup and what I did was make a little bracket to hold the filter down with the top cover off. now from what I see once that factory fan shroud is gone it will open up alot of room. and if any one has any dimensions I could use to determine the size of fan to buy that would help alot. :bigok:

good start.



I have that same fan, it pulls some crazy air. When it blows I can hear the wind over the RB exhaust at idle.

nice page.Looks like a killer fan.

Looks nice. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

looks nice and adds some hp

but if your in a warm area dont go with an electric fan

your engine just wont like it and overheat

thats an old wives tale, if you get the right sized fan (over 2000cfm) its fine

my 7 ran hotter before I put the electric fan on, but my radiator wasnt working too well, it needed to be replaced, had a very very small leak that would let some steam out intermittently and kick the buzzer on.



I don't believe the stuff about 7's overheating with the flexalite fan, this fan pulls more cfm than my mechanical did, you have to hear this thing to understand. I can stand behind the car and feel hot wind coming out from underneathe if I have shorts on. It gets pretty nasty here in summer and I never had problems with the fan, worked great. As long as you adjust the thermostat properly it's fine.



When it's running I could place my hand in front of the radiator and feel a significant amount of air being sucked through the radiator, that never ever was possible with my stock fan.

Actually at idle... when you need the fan the most a good electric fan will push more cfm then a belt driven fan.

Man, that fan and install is the way to do it. I just went with a Mr. Gasket 16" from Summit for I think it was $70. It still keeps it plenty cool year round, even after a hard drive in the hottest weather.

is that one of those scary looking finger slicer types?
