EvilDead Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Once again, I searched, and searched, but found nothing. Anyone have a part # or a link for purchase? Just wanting to replace mine before it gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Instead of replacing the mechanical fan, find an EA81 car with AC and steal the slim electric fan from it. Gotta drill a couple holes in the radiator but works better then the mechanical fan, plus gives you a little horses back:banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misledxcracker Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I've been contemplating switching to dual electric fans on my SPFI coupe. Will regular EA82 fans work, or are the EA81 fans more efficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baccaruda Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Discriminating Subaru owners will not only retrofit a 2nd electric fan in place of the clutch fan, but will slot the bottom mounting holes of both fans. Removing the radiator entirely will allow you to thread in bolts slightly longer than stock, install the fans with the bolts not quite snug, and double-up two nuts on the shaft end of the bolt (inside the radiator bottom frame). remove the fans before reinstalling the radiator, of course. This will allow you to yank both fans in about a minute, making maintenance faster and easier. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
