Recently my stock clutch fan started chewing through my fan shroud... I have a koyo radiator in there and it has always had around half an inch or so of clearance, and now all of the sudden i found it hitting the shroud and it was chewing it up pretty bad... I am considering just removing the shroud and stock clutch fan setup and replacing it with an electric setup.. What is your setup? Can you post pics and also show how its wired up? I cannot find a useful thread anywhere and im also wondering what the CFM rating is on the stock clutch fan setup..

I am wondering if the stock fan spins and pulls air through the radiator I am assuming that it does pull air through it because if it was pushing air through it while you are moving forward it would be terribly ineffective... I need a good setup for a fan i do not want to worry about any cooling issues, and i DO NOT want to pull the radiator out or take out any coolant sensors... Im thinking of just getting a fan with the same CFM rating as the stock clutch fan unit and just having it run all the time that the car is turned on... Otherwise im either going to just buy a new fan shroud and fan clutch or i am going to purchase this..... Which is made for the 240's..... I just have no clue what to do for wiring it and i dont feel comfortable with it.. at this point PRICE IS NO CONCERN i just need to get this taken care of in the best way possible!!
