Option 1:

All Brand new OEM Nissan Fan,Fan clutch and fan shroud. Which i can get no problem. I have already hunted all the stuff down.

Option 2:

Mishimoto dual 10" Fans with aluminum shroud



Option 3:Flex a Lite FAL-345 setup



If i go electric either setup is going to have the:DIF 10001 Thermostatic Single/Dual Universal Electric Fan Controller

The engine is a mildy tuned SR maybe pushing 250-300hp max. It will be daily driven as well as see a decent amount of track time including drift events and auto x as well as mountain driving.

I would like to know what you think the best setup is out of the 3 Anyone who has any of these setups please share your input. All of these setups are close enough to the same price that cost does not really have any affect here at all. Im just trying to get some feedback before i make my purchase.

I went with OEM. I remember reading an article where the oem flows more air through the radiator than most aftermarket products.

Yeah man ive read that alot too, I trust the oem one for sure im just wondering if anything else is actually better or worth going with. I try to get as many opinions as possible and stories then base my choice on that along with hours of other research haha im insane about what i buy especially when they are all so similar in cost. (And no one mention any oem electric fans from any car THANK YOU!)

**I'm also going to be using a Yashio Factory water pump pulley 8% Larger If that makes any difference on what fan setup i should get haha**

I hear alot of people say oem i see alot of even pro d1 cars using oem clutch fans. I mean that engine bay pic i posted is from this d1 s15 with 509 hp and a nismo 2.2L sr. I mean its got to be good i think one of the main reasons people use electric is because they cant find new oem fan parts? Idk anyways here is that article about the s15 if anyone cares :P
