Is there anyone having this kit from eBay? I'd like to know if this kit is worth it or not, and how hard is the installation? Thank you!

Whats a fan shroud kit? Your car should have a stock fan shroud. If this is for efans stick with stock.
I did a quick look on ebay and got this,

So far, this kit is not good then. Another quick questions, why are flexalite fans so popular? I guess they're supposed to be good. How hard is it to install a flexalite fans kit? Thanks!
Is there a reason your looking only at efans? do you not have your stock shroud anymore? if so, imo a stock shroud and fan is better than a crappy efan. (most of the time)

I have the stock fan setup, but I've been told that if I upgrade to efans, I would feel the engine is more responsive.
Efans have pros and cons compared to mechanical. Dyno proven to free up extra HP, not a lot mind you but some when installed in place of mech fan. But then again you gotta think about the electronics if something malfunctions that extra HP cost ya a bhg. I think depending on use of vehicle is where Efans do the most.
I think flexalite has a mechanical fan also? Something about the blade design and function is what makes them kick ass

So you want to gain a whopping 3hp that you wont even feel nice.
Lets see so we have a gain of 3hp and most likely over heating with crap fans vs not over heating with stock setup and not gaining a whopping 3hp. Hmmmm.

Another con, is that I hate is how loud they are. at some red lights when the thing kicks on it's startled people driving next to me. I don't know if they're looking at my ride, or wondering wtf that noise is. XD
A new fan clutch is much quieter. I had a good one and made the mistake of putting a turbo fan on a n/a fan clutch. Bad idea as it wore out and it took me 3 trips to the junk yard to find one that wouldn't lock up after a week. The last one lasted me about a year now and no problems for 12 bucks but its no where near as quiet as the one i had before. Sometimes there loud and sometimes there not but i would not ditch it for e fans no matter what.
Big F@i&ing lolz. I didnt even notice that as i half look at ebay shit. Wow so you would have to run a 4 foot long lower rad hose.

I looked into it more, I love the fine print.
Returns that have install issues need to include an invoice with a note stating item is uninstallable.
Buyer assumes all risks if item was installed at a non-legitamate shop or professional mechanic.
Most items do not come with instructions so please be aware of this before purchasing.
All sales are final.

So you can't do it yourself or you void their "warranty"?
if you pay a "pro" and it doesn't work, you need an invoicing stating such.
and if, IF they agree they will take it back, and give you another?
or if somehow by the gods you get a refund they take 91$ for their trouble (20%)
I love ebay so much XD

Go mishimoto, as an owner of a Fluidyne as well as a mishi, its the best you can get for your money and honestly cools better than the fluidyne which is 2.5 times the cost.

Dude i dont know what the attitude is about, if you read my post i said its not a big increase in power, and that efans do have cons such as electrical going bad. Did not say i rec one over the other, but i do believe if installed correctly and wired properly an efan is more efficient than stock IMO. Yet there is always a chance of overheating with any type of fan. fan clutches work good dont get me wrong but a good non ebay efan will work just as good or better. And by the way horsepower is hp who cares how you get it as long as its reliable. How many clutches did you go through? maybe just maybe if you had a good efan installed (pro) you would have spent more time driving than fixing the fan?
On one note not all efan are loud think that all depends on the cfm it pulls or pushes depending on install.
OP I am not in anyway suggesting anything here

depends how you define efficiency in this case, but most likely from your perspective, the answer is a clear NO, they are NOT. Efans don't flow NEARLY as much as stock setup.

Was not an attitude. Its hard to find a efan setup that will flow as much at stock when your sitting because thats when you need the fan. When your moving air flow is enough to cool the engine. Stock works best. The only reason i had to replace a clutch was because i put a turbo fan on a n/a fan clutch. Turbos clutchs were made for the heavier fan. If i didnt do that i would still be working fine today and the last one was 12 bucks and has lasted over a year. And no i dont need anyone touching my car other than me thank you. If i want efans i would have already wired them up.
Hp is hp but skimping on my cooling system for such a small amount is a waste and id rather just add another psi of boost. Thats what the turbo is for HP.
