aftermarket fans? trying to keep car cool in traffic

Hey,

I've been having trouble keeping the engine temp down especially in this 90+ weather we're having. I have to sit in traffic about an hour each day, and I find myself constantly watching the temp gauge. I need to find an aftermarket fan assembly to replace my single fan setup. Is there any company that makes a bolt in dual fan setup for a 91 TPI setup w/AC? I see universal fit stuff all over the place but I would rather not deal with trying to make it fit. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Jim

I have it on a manual switch and I turn it on as soon as I start the car.

there are no high flow replacements, you can do a dual fan swap. that or try to find a place to rebuild the motor in your stock electric motor. it will pull more amps but it would also pull more air

I've had real bad luck trying to find a dual fan setup. I'll check the classifieds though, thanks.

3rd Gen dual fan setup: www.metzlerracing.com/dualfans.htm Most of the parts can be had at a junkyard or 3rd gen parts website, but if you have to buy some at the dealer, here is the info you need.
