Why U No ask this in your other thread?

Some efans are better, some are worse than the clutch fan. Read, use the search button, there was a big comparison thread.

And no, efans do not give you more HP. How would they? Efans can reduce parasitic loss, but that is not adding power.

A brand new Ka24DE supposedly had 155hp, switching to an Efan would not increase this number at all. Ever.

^ True, it might free up 1 or 2 max but wont add any from the original value

I highly recommend 2500 CFM minimum for an electric fan(s). Less than that and you might have trouble in the summer. Most cheap fans are no where near this CFM.

best thing about an electric fan setup is it opens the engine bay. gets rid of the shroud and bulky clutch fan. more room to work without having to go through the pits of removing that crap before you even start (i have big hands and bigger forearms)

No e-fan will pull air like the clutch fan setup.

Stock fan, as any electric fan with enough power to completely replace the clutch fan will butt rape the stock alternator.

2500 CFA FAL shrouded dual fans work great, even in summer with AC running, no problems with alternator at all in a bunch of installs.

They are not cheap though.

Edit: I was trying to find a link to the single FAL fan we used to use - it was much cheaper. Looks like it is not manufactured anymore.
