How many blades does the stock fan have. Im pretty sure the one on my car came with the engine (from an explorer), and its much more fan than I need. If I go with a different fan, should I try a flex fan or what?
Thanks

If doing this, it is to reduce parasitic drag, right? So an elec fan would be a much more efficient means to accomplish this.

Good luck.

yea Ive thought about doing an electric fan, I just dont think I can make a habbit of throwing a switch whenever I stop for more than a few seconds. Or is there some kinda automatic setup so that the electric fan goes on whenever the engine gets to a certain temp?

Yep, I would use a controller. You can use generic ones from parts stores, but I think it is much wiser money to get one of Mr Baskin's controllers. With the latter option, you would almost literally never have to think about the fan (esp if you do the LED to show that the fan is on).

Good luck.

www.dccontrol.com is where you find his stuff. Email him if you have any questions. He can set you up with whatever fan you throw at him.

This IS Sesame Street! They've only changed the name to try and fool you. Click on the link up top there that says "TALK". You'll be cruising down the middle of it before you know what hit you!

Ah yes the infamous talk questions...some personal favorites:
I met this girl, I think she's hot, she's sleeping with some guy, do you think she likes me?? should I kick her ass??

Guy at work says my car is slow...should I race him?? Will he win?? What kind of times does the reliant K with a K$n filter run?

Great now I've depressed myself...thanks Daggar.

Who was she?
Really?
That's a shame!
Probably not!
I would if it were me.

Only way to find out if it's slow!
Probably, if your car is slow!
