    Electric Fans (puller) which one you recommend?

    As the topic said, i need a puller electric fan to replace the stock fan clutch set up. Which one you recommend? I think it will be a 16" and over 2000cfm will be enough? what u think of this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zirgo-Ultra-...&forceRpt=true Is it crap?

        Personally I use SPAL fans as I think they are built better and should last longer.

        But whatever you use, resist the urge to mount the fan by anything that touches the radiator fin tubes. Through the radiator type mounts can wear a hole in a fin tube.

          30$ fan , can u trust its performance? idk, but 30$ seems pretty cheap to be a good one. I will buy a Zirgo 16" with 2800cfm slim for 90$ shipped i found around, i will let u know then how it works.

            Just put on the IE 14" $30 fan as a pusher and is working well and is quiet. If I had the money I would have bought a SPAL.

              I already got a pretty good pusher fan, but since i put back the A/C on my turbo car, i want to use a high performance puller and eliminate the fan clutch.

                Why? The engine driven fan is a simple and reliable means of cooling the engine. I'll replace the fan with an electric on a race car because every last bit of power matters there. But on a street car it makes more sense to retain the fan.

                  I never drive the car. Holds the temp perfect.

                  This.

                  Only reason I put an electric one is because when my radiator blew I put in a 3 row Z3 M radiator.
