I am having heating problems, what is the best fan to use for the front?
I am going to try a BMW 740i aircon fan? Any feedback...

Spal fans works best, if I remember correctly, flex-a-lite have a bolt on fan setup for the sx.

BMW E34 aircon fan-no substitute for size.It's like 17" and it sucks small animals from the side of the road.need a 60A relay to switch.
Works for most of the drifters.
My car's a Hybrid - it burns gas and rubber

I also have a big ass BMW fan (E39 5 series IIRC) and it works like a charm....pulls a crap load of power though
S13 CA18DET, NIStune and...oh wait no that's gone.....

Cool, thanks for the info, going to look for a fan today.
Remember, I am running a 1jz in my Silvia.
Will go look for A BMW fan.
Maybe I must take the one out my 335i
