    Other than @loginfailed does anyone else have an electric fan installed? Anyone seen this kit https://www.lceperformance.com/Elec...MIl5rzg-fn4wIVQ5yzCh0eTQPNEAQYAiABEgKo6PD_BwE

    I just put the CSF radiator in and it solved the overheating issues completely at speed but at idle and slow speeds I still need moar! Going slow up the trails I can see engine temps drop 2-4 degrees just by stomping on the gas to get that mechanical fan going a little quicker. I am convinced that an electric fan that is full power regardless of speed would help my offroad trips

    I have an e fan. Although it’s a champion four core radiator made for an impala. I bought it from ledfoot racing and it came with a fan and a shroud. I had to replace the fan though, the fan that came with it was a really cheap one and I kept overheating. Replaced with A Spal fan and it’s been good.

    What output fan did you use?

    Anyone know the output of the stock mechanical fan?

    Not offhand but you can change the mechanical fans properties by changing fluid viscosity, volume, and engagement temp.
    I played with it a bit but ultimately went with the Mark VIII efan.

    I can’t remember the model or output that I bought. I just bought the 16” Spal fan that had the highest CFM possible.

    I'm curious how the stock alternator handles this. Yes, it frees up drag from a mechanical fan but it's a heavier load on the charging system. Looks nice. I wanted to get an electric fan out of a Lexus and fit that. Keep it OEM-ish. Genuine Toyota parts tend to have better build quality than some aftermarket ones.

    Yeah at this point I am fine upgrading the alternator if needed. I need something that will run full speed while I am crawling along.

    No problem. I also put a slightly smaller pulley on my stock alternator to boost low rpm/idle output.

    I integrated my Mark VIII fan and should into a stock FJ shroud so it looks stock. You cant even see the fan in the shroud.
