Default Re: Electric fan?

It depends on the fan design and size as to whether it's as efficient as the stock fan belt driven fan. The only power you'll gain from going to an electric is freeing up the power loss due to parasitic drag. i.e. it takes a small amount of your engine's power to turn the accessories, including the fan.
