I run twin electric fans in mine in a dual speed auto/manual configuration.
If you want the circuit for this let me know...
BUT don't do this to correct a fault!!!!

Is there any noticeable power gains by removing the stock clutch fan, JJ?

The good news is I've fixed the overheating issues.
Yes please, I would like to get the circuit. It's been a while since I built one. It should be fun

I did notice the change but to be honest it was with my old OBD1 engine which was down on compression compared to my OBD2 engine.
There is a difference in response and I have gottent the best economy since the change although I'm not suggesting that this is the reason but it will contribute to it.
I mainly like the option to kill the fans for water crossings and to force the fans to high speed for towing or offroad....

Here you go...
I replaced the original fan bracket with one from a Zg that meant I didn't need to cut the bracket like normal....

Yerr turning the fans off for water crossings that is a good idea. I guess as for power gains its a bit like the TB spacer, only incremental on its own but when added to four of five other minor changes it can make a reasonable difference.
