Engine fan upgrade?

Hey guys is there an engine fan upgrade out there that is actually beneficial for cooling? My fan is on its way out and I would rather upgrade and improve rather than just replacing 1 to 1.

No, the factory fan is plenty enough for cooling. If I were planning to overhaul the cooling system, look into getting a DO88 rad or CSF one.

Yeah I agree totally Do88 is the biz. I'm just wondering if there is a more efficient fan pulling more air through. Thanx though

The stock fan is really good. Also, I am pretty sure the DME disables the fan at a certain speed.

What are the symptoms of a bad fan? Is it throwing codes?

Cheers,

Yeah I'm getting final stage fan errors. The fan works fine but I don't want the error lingering with summer here.
