My Koyo radiatior is on its way to my house atm, and I need a good electric fan for it, since I took out the big stocker and the ac one is dead. I have a slim fit 12" from autozone, but it isnt doing the job. Flex-a-lite doesn't make a kit speficly for the 240, so Im wondering what my best option would be.

Thaknks in advance.

ok, well if you are into drifting, the the best thing to have is the stock fan clutch. but if not. i heard that the fan from a ford taurus SHO or something, is a really good fan, cuz it has two speeds. but there could be a better fan then this one.

Stock with stock shroud is best, but if you MUST go electric, the Flex-a-Lite 150 Black Magic should be your next choice.

Ive heard Altima fans fit the stock radiator. Dont know how hard it would be to fit them on a Koyo...

Ford t-bird turbo coupes came with an 18" electric fan that is a monster...try that.
