I think I read somewhere that the fan shroud should cover at least 80% of the radiator area.  There's probably a CFM recommendation by number of cylinders out there too.

I can tell you that my Hyundai 14" fan (eBay purchase) cools mine just fine.  It keeps the temp down at the level the thermostat opens.

 glad to hear that is still working out for you!

I am SOOOOO glad this thread came up so I could see a little more of 95XL7's engine compartment! Every little pic I see of this swap, answers more questions my mind has about the 2.5 going into this 95 4 door I'm going to be doing.

is that what that is?!  i would love to have a 2.5 in my 90, but it looks like a royal pain....?

Guys, where should I position the radiator thermal probe?  Should it be on the upper part of the radiator as near as possible to the upper radiator hose or should it be down the radiator nearest the lower radiator hose?  

From my understanding, this is the water flow sequence right?  Hot water from engine -->  thermostat --> upper radiator hose --> radiator --> lower radiator hose --> cool water back to engine.

Am I right?

FWIW, I put mine near the lower hose.  I guess my thought was that way it would activate as soon as the water going back into the engine hit my target temp.  But really, it should make no difference as long as the temp at the upper hose  (or anywhere else) is within the upper limit of the sensor.

I found that the Turbo produces too much heat,
combined with the intercooler, an electric fan just
wasn't up to the job, but that's another story.

I liked my temp probe as close to the hot water
coming from the engine, my thought was that I
don't want the radiator getting to the target temp,
I want the radiator to be cooling before it gets that
hot. I went as far as mounting the thermo switch
on the thermostat housing to read the water temp
of the engine directly, as soon as it got to 180* it
would kick on the fan and cool the radiator.

Be aware that I was using a 160* thermostat so the
water was circulating before the fan kicked on, I guess
the radiator would have been getting to 180* before
the fan kicked in, but if you have one of those variable
temp thermostats you could set it at any temp in it's range.

Thats what im going to be doing this week getting a bung tig welded to the top of my thermo housing. so i can run my switch from the housing.
