how much does it help to use an electric fan instead of the stock one that is propelled by the engine?

im looking at some for 100$ for 2 fans. if anyone knows where i can get other fans plz let me know. also other brands that mnight be good.

 

the stock fan will function better than most electric fans...at least that's what i found when i researched.

 

I really cant remember the site, but if you search you shound find it.......

 

You can get the ford taurus fan. It is said to be the god of all electric fans. There are a few write ups and similar questions so try searching around for more info.

Basically switching to an electric fan will free up some HP since the fan is driven by the engine. It will also free up lots of space and make the bay look a lot cleaner.

 

You can use flex-a-lite fans, but i would not remove the stock clutch fan. the clutch fan is proven better than all those electric fans out there. Trust me i know, alot of my buddies with supras and sc's with electric fans has having problems wwhen using the ac.

 

thanks a lot i appreciate all the info.

if anyone has any other imputs plz let me know :]

 

i would only replace the stock fan out of necessity.
the power gain is not worth it if your engine is stock.

 

On our car, we installed a ford taurus fan last year. It just got converted back to mechanical stock fan.

Yet again, listen to internet claims and they are bound to be wrong, and it is. Nothing beats the stock fan. On hot florida days, you couldn't turn the AC on without going well over 220* water temp. With the stock fan, it just stuck at 180. I have never heard of a forced induction car worried about the HP that it "robs". Just turn your boost up .5psi if you're that concerned about it, or get a bigger turbo.
