Clutch fan with shroud is the best most efficient set up.

Welcome to Earth. Yes. A clutch fan can move more air than any electric fan and with less drag on the engine. A good size electric fan can pull up to 30amps, putting a drain on the alternator and forcing it to work harder. The clutch fan is bolted to the water pump, it's not much more effort to turn the clutch than to just turn the pump alone. With the shroud in place you're directing 100% of the air through the radiator, maximizing it's efficiency too, keeping the coolant that much cooler overall.

That said, a lot of people remove it to gain room or to reduce noise and do fine with electric fans, and as any FWD car owner can attest to an electric fan does the job fine, but it's only because a clutch fan wouldn't work on a transverse layout.

I thought that w/o the clutch fan its less weight for the belts to spin, therefore more hp
So even if its deleted that makes the alternator work harder for an electric fan so its kind of a lose-lose on the gaining hp aspect?

Exactly. You're not gaining anything by just replacing one draw with another one. Take a clutch and fan off and weigh it, it's virtually nothing. Any gains achieved by removing it are so negligible you'd never notice it.

That being said though, I do not run a clutch fan due to fitment issues. But I also have a very nice shroud that I spent a lot of time making and plenty of ducting in front of it so my two electric fans at least still direct 100% of the airflow needed through the radiator. Simply placing one big fan or even a pair on the radiator's core with those little ziptie deals results in the air blowing across the entire core support, above, below, and around the radiator. Remember that when you're driving the air coming through the radiator is pushing against the air you're creating from the fan. Not channeling it correctly leads to a greater loss of directed airflow. That big fan may do wonders when the car is sitting still but without a proper shroud it's not worth much when moving.

this might give you some ideas to do it right if you do it.
http://zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/233498...ro-gt-fan.html

Make sure you get a fan with a shroud.. Good junkyard fans are ford Taurus 3.8l fan, and pontiac fiero GT... since they both have shrouds and fit the rads pretty good with little to no trimming.

Dont skimp on wiring.. and you should have a good idea of how things work.. so you dont want to be out driving and see your temps skyrocket and not be able to pull over and quickly diagnose why your fan didnt cool etc etc.

On my V8 I would have preferred to use a clutch fan and shroud, but due to engine placement so far back I couldn't find a clutch fan long enough to fit.

I'm using FAL fans which should only pull 19.5A, but the fans still drive the electronics in my car crazy with noise.

First off I wouldn't think that the wieght of the clutch fan wouldbe what causes the most drag it would most certianly be the air resistance it encounters when its trying move x amount of cfm. then you said that it makes the alternator work harder well couldn't you just get a higher amp alternator out of that pathfinder I think its like a 90 amp. Then all you havee to do is choose wisely on you e fan set-up= low current draw+high cfm electric motors are getting more efficiant every day. Not that I'm bashing clutch fans but e-fans are not that bad.

I pulled my clutch fan off without replacing it with another fan kekekeke.

my clutch was seized and i got tired of it sounding like a ups truck.

doesn't overheat because i don't sit in traffic, i'll replace it before summer though.

No one said electric fans are bad. They're fine. They're not as efficient as a clutch fan, simple. A higher output alternator, say even a 110A Quest model will still require more draw as it loads up, and as most Nissan alternators do the gains in amperage are only at higher RPMs, the 90A Zenki SE model outputs the same amperage as the base 80A below 4k RPM. So at idle and cruising speeds a larger alternator isn't doing any better than what you already had.

I had dual FAL fans with the DIF dual fan controller and it was drawing a serious amount of power when both fans were running. i had to ditch the miata sized battery i had since 5 seconds of the fans on would drop the voltage below 13Volts. I upgraded to a stronger battery and didnt have the voltage problem.
Eventually i went back to the clutch fan and i cant tell a difference in power, but my average temps are only 140 degrees F. I guess the koyo aluminum rad is overkill with the clutch fan haha.

My s14 has a stock electric fan for the A/C which comes on when the A/C is on or then the motor reaches a certain temperature. The clutch in my belt driven fan seized so I took it off.

We know this. All Schassis cars have an electric fan as a supplement to the clutch fan. On S14s it's a 2speed unit, low speed comes on at 203 degrees, high speed at 212 or when the A/C switch is engaged. No one said you have to run the clutch fan, it's usually fine without it as long as your cooling system is up to par, but it cools better and more efficiently with it installed.

I had to ditch my clutch fan due to the blades cracking and almost ready to break off, so i bought myself an fal dual electric designed for my 240, uses the mounts for the stock a/c electric fan which makes it super easy to install, really cleans up the engine bay, covers the entire rad surface area so there is no bypass of the fans so you get best efficiency, and is also wired through a constant so it cools after the car is turned off, never had a problem with battery draw, and also wired to turn on when a/c is on like the stock electric did. I love it and would never go back to the stock clutch fan

Sorta off topic...but how do you recommend ducting a push-fan setup? Instead of building ducting around the fan and rad (on a pull setup), would i want to duct as much air from the inlet in my bumper to the front of the rad? (i'm thinking like a sheet metal "tunnel" surrounding the rad).

I know it's not ideal (pushing vs. pulling)....but i have no other choice after stuffing in a straight 6 (at least i haven't found any fans slim enough yet...)

Juts like you said it, make a tunnel to direct airflow to the fan from the bumper opening. Start with cardboard to get your pieces right then step up to sheetmetal, that way you're only making the cuts once. Use door edge guard on the edges to prevent cutting anything and foam tape to seal it tight.

I removed my OEM fan:
1) For more room in the engine bay.
2) Cause I had Altima fans laying around.
3) Cause I don't like sounding like a dump truck when accelerating.

This I didn't know. I thought it was just high temp or A/C. I have to rewire my fans soon anyway, so I think I'm gonna try to take advantage of this.

Same here, I have owned two S13s, neither of which had any kind of fan on them (besides the stock electric fan). I have 100 degree+ summers, and lots of traffic. Pfft, fan schman.

it may not make any difference in stop and go traffic or just normal daily driving, but it is crucial to have your shit setup properly if you are hitting the track.
