Can anyone suggest a good electrical fan?

[Lord Jax]

Can anyone suggest a good electric fan for me to replace my mechanical fan with. Something slim and high powered for warm weather. Either after market or cannibalized from a different type of car.

If you are looking just to go to your local parts store. I have a "torqueflow" on all three of my E30, 16" fan. You can get it from Auto Zone and get the thermostat switch there also, it's adjustable.

i have not done the swap on my e30 but on my old dsm i went with a slimline SPAL and it worked great it would be on for about 15 sec tops and it cooled down i think i paid about 100 from jegs.

Check the junk yards for a volvo 940/960/850 17" 2 speed fan. Get it with the relay. its a 2 speed fan. Very powerful, high quality and quiet. Whatever fan you get, make sure its has curved blades. These are more efficient and quieted than straight blades.

fyi you won't be able to fit a 17" infront of the rad

I was thinking a large puller fan behind the radiator could replace both the clutch fan and the small electric aux fan in front.

I had a 16" on last summer, w/100+ degree temp's, and it had no problem keeping it cool. My A/C ran colder also. My temp ran cooler than the factory setup.
