i did it to my supra it saves ya a little weight also your supposed to pick up some power form getting rid of that heavy fan it also cleans up the engine bay and it makes it easier to work on because the fan is out of you way. the only problem i had was the little solenoid for the thermo switch got to hot so i had to move it it was in the fuse box then i moved it right ouside of it and i have had no problems since i am a believer of this mod

thank you guys very much for the great input, is there a particualr CFM range that is ideal? also, does this in anyway affect EGT and if not, what can potentially lower it? Although 1,300-1,400 degrees is avg hwy cruising temp, that's still something i would like to reduce if at all possible.
Thanks again!

Not a whole lot of benefits as replacing the stock system is cheaper than properly installed e-fans...

really up to you, but I like the KISS principal...

How about rush hour with the AC on?
