Kreator, how was the install when you put it in? S13 or S14? So are you saying that the fan you have (the one you linked: http://store.summitracing.com/partdet....erimage)is good for the $$$?? If so, I would consider getting one.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
I have an s14. It didn't take too long to install. I'd say 3-4 hours if you know exactly what you are doing, and maybe a bit more if you have to run to the home depot to get random stuff.

Well as for performance of the fan, like i said - a guy around here is running that fan with an sr at 15psi and doesn't have any overheating problems. And he is running it without even a shroud. I yet didn't get a chance to test mine out due to the fact that my engine fucked up the same day. I'm pretty sure the fan pushes more than enough. When i was testing it out and connected to the battery, the thing almost flew away from my hands. I made a custom shroud for my fan that cost me like $3 and is no different in performance as the one flexalite puts around there fans.

There is a write up somewhere on the net on how to wire the fan to run with the ignition switch on. It's absolutely unnecessary, but it's easier, cheaper and is nothing to worry about except for the 9amps that your car is constantly robbed off. I payed extra money for thermo sensor (like $15) that will make the fan run when the temp hits like 170F. so if you decide to go by that route, pm me and i'll make a write up on how i did my wiring.

Here is the the only pic i have of my engine with the fan in it. You can barely see it, but it's the best i have.

That blue sticker on the very left goes on the custom shroud and that acid green stripe abit to the right of the fan is where the thermo is connected to the radiator hose.
