I looked into it....
Like you, I looked into changing to electric. The general view seemed to be that its not worth the effort unless you need the additional room behind the radiator, like for turbo, etc. Because the oem fan is hydraulic, you have to seal off the plumbing. Additionally, an idler pulley has to be mounted on a fabricated bracket so you can use the original serpentine belt - if you just use a smaller belt, you're asking for slippage problems. No one was able to document any power gains from eliminating the oem fan. Maybe someone else can correct or update what I found, but I discarded the idea. Good luck if you do it and post your progress.

well after hearing that it definitely sounds like something i dont want to do haha..
id much rather eFans however if its a hassle then id rather not mess with it..
i just really do not like fans that get louder the higher you rev the engine..
of course if any one else with efans wants to chime in please do id like to hear more but as of right now ill probably just leave it be..simpler that way i suppose

Being on the supra forums they vote to go with the oem fan blades. The oem fan will most likely cool your car better. Electric fans eventually start to wear and that will result in less cooling.

What plumbing are you talking about? And as far as an idler pulley... I don't understand why you would need that. The clutch fan is just bolted onto the water pump isn't it? So wouldn't you just need to unbolt the fan?

Wow allot of bad info here. To write up your fan correctly you buy a $ 30 fan kit that has a sensor for the temp of your car. There is no plumbing behind the fan and no pulley to be made....
