Re: Electric Fan?

I have an electric fan setup that is made with two fan assemblies from a Honda and a custom welded frame.

Basically any 'universal' electric fan kit will work if it is the rigt size to fit the Celica radiator. It will be held to the radiator with pins. This isn't a great setup for the celica radiator, and if you are an aggressive driver you will probably end up trashing a mess of radiator fins.

I like the perma-cool electric fans. They look like well built peices. However when installed at least the top two mounting points should be attached to the chassis somehow. To prevent damaging the radiator. I explained it better in a post allong time ago. Look in the archives for similar threads.
