  • electric fan?

    i'm pretty sure this has been talked about tons of time but i just gotta ask.
    any opinions on an electric fan to put into a 4banger tj and how to do it? write ups? i hear a ford taurus fan but what year? and should i use a shroud?
    has anyone on here done it?

          taurus fan from the 3.8L motor, more popular on sable wagons. they move lots of air. itll definitely free up power, the clutch fan robs a lot of it, and that huge fan creates a helluvalotta drag. youll NEED the shroud also. lots of writeups on the web. i thought about doing it but so far have kept have stock fan for simplicity. once the clutch goes bad i'll go all electric, but the i replaced that 2 years ago so i should be good for a while.

              do an intake, exhaust and throttle body from a 4.0, the 2.5 will never be a powerhouse of a motor tho

                  i guess headers will work but thats alot of money for not much power.... if you want serious power and dont care on price tag turbo it..
