i personally don't like electric fans as they don't work as well as stock but i have installed a ton of em and it does open the engine bay.....if you were to install one I'd prefer the ones from powerhouse racing, or from mvp motorsports both are good quality and remember you gotta make em work all the time the car is runnning

AAP Polished Dual Fan Kit
No problems.




Do not get Flex-A-Lite fans.
I have Flex-A-Lite Black Magic 2850 cfm/w Temp on my Z32TT.
It's a piece of Crap. Never work correctly.

I have had the Flexalite 210's and they worked great for me. I switched to the AAP Fan Kit and they work great too. I have the AAP's setup with a temp switch and they dont come on until reaching operating temp or if the A/C is on.
Since moving to LasVegas, I have driven in 110 deg. temps and no overheating.
I have a second AAP setup(polished) that I purchased new and replaced with the same AAP Kit in Chrome. The polished setup is for sale.

i guess its because of the shroud that the stock fan works better ? my fan clutch is shot so im just gonna get electric fans. is there a reason why you guys put two ? one pull and push ? or both pull.
