a friend of mine told me that i could get about 40 hp from an electric clutch fan and dual jwt popchargers for my na z. first of all is this true? 2nd of all, do dual pop chargers do any good on an na z cuz i saw them for turbo but didnt know if it made a difference or if there are 2 different kinds. here is a link to the fan he was talking about, also will i need 2 of these or just one cuz i heard someone say something about dual elect. fans one time but im not sure if i miss heard or what but yea.....

Going with an electric fan does free up a little power, I don't know about 15hp though, that's a little of an excessive estimate. As for the dual intake setup, you won't ever make the power to warrant it on an NA. TT's doing really show a major benefit from it until 500+hp.

ok thanx another thing tho, my shifter is extremley loose, do you know how i can tighten it or if there is something i need to replace, if so what is it called and where do i get it? that same friend told me it was some kind of a shifter berring or something but im not sure i can trust too much of what he says anymore.

if by loose you mean it has a lot of play (even when in gear) its your shifter bushings. Easiest to get from underneath, and even thats a little bit of a challange if youre not mechanically inclined. An e-fan will free up a little bit of power, but not as much as your friend says. Its not so much gaining HP, just freeing HP up. The clutch fan is one of the more power draining accessories on the drive belt system (any clutch driven pulley/pump is bound to take up a decent of rotational force). Youll notice it more in the *** dyno then a real dyno, if you do U/P at the same time as an e-fan you might see 5-10 hp, but you will notice a more responsive and free-er revving powerband, and a little extra umph down low

how much do you think a shop will charge to do install the electric fan?

[evildky]

a good electric fan si gonna cost you at least $100, and that minimum, and to have a shop remove the mechanical fan, install and wore the electric fan, I'd guess 2 hours, at whatever thewir billing rate is, around here it's $65-120 hp, so $130-240 total labor plus fan to gain maybe 5 whp, I did the swap on my Z32 and it ran a bit hotter with the fan I had but there was no noticable difference so I swapped back, you'll notice as much gain by removing you're ac belt

you're best sticking to the basic order, of things, intake, exhaust, ecu, and if thats not enough, turbo swap
