Default What electric fans

I am currently looking into dual electric fans instead of a mechanical fan. I know I can get some online but I don't want to pay that much. I believe I need around 4000 cfm's so 2 2000cfm fans are what I'm looking for. Does any one know what vehicles have fans that are rated around that? I saw somewhere that someone was using the fans from an Audi in his dual fan set up.

taurus fans are a highly sought after fan swap in many applications.

I have also heard that one. But I also heard it was a lot bigger than the radiator. I Would like to find something that allows 2 fans in a custom shroud.

A triple fan setup would work too. What kind of fans are you using

I know of a few stroker guys running dual 97+ stock XJ fans. They keep the stock aux fan in position and function while the new fan replaces the mechanical and is run off SPAL or the like.

A 97+ Cherokee is tough to come by here in the junk yards. Whats the difference of the 97+ and the 96 down?

Those might work. I am hoping to find some used fans off a car to try and keep costs as low as possible but that's a good option and isn't that bad on price

Improved fan blades that move more air.
