ive got a ac condenser fan off an eldorado…i think…some kinda caddie…12" and custom brackets! not sure of the cfm…but its faaaaast as a mofo…cools very nice varun has a dodge ram i beleve… if u wanna spend big bux, but want it to look super smooth then get dual FAL’s with a shroud…very sharp 😉 ---

Someone did a test and found that the stock Altima (the KA powered ones) electric fan actually flowed more CFM than all the aftermarket ones they tested. ---

how you wanna wire it is up to you…mines on a switch…as for the dims…im not too sure…its 12" diameter and theres not much more to it than that…3 arms to mount it…from arm end to arm end its the size of the rad so a perfect fit wiht the help of mounting hardware ---

Could be a bunch of things… try squirting in some TB cleaner while the car is running. Could also be your idler air valve. ---
