i have taken the fan off mine, not fitted a electric one yet but it is a little better on juice but the main thing for me is it revs better an pulls better.
temp getting to about 3/4 stuck in traffic so i will fit a electric one soon

Believe me you do not want to overheat.

true that. head gaskets are horrible job. takes about a day to strip and build back up then a good couple of hours to get the compression to start it!

Bought another Sidekick. Also a new G16 block for my 300+ HP project.

putting sum more kms on, I gtg to northbay tomorrow then back in a week then off to ottawa.
I still have a intermittent miss, but i did on a good note change my exhaust to a 2 inch one all new from manifold back. I used the cherrybomb turbo and it sounds great not all fart can like. Much cheaper then factory muffler.

we put electrics on here too....ford taurus is an excellent donour

the 2 inch exhaust is the way to go such an easy mod. had mine on for a couple of weeks now and it's better on fuel as engine isn't so restricted by a box RIGHT at the front!

Granted is loud but the gains are more then worth it also scares peeps and had a couple of peeps ask me what engine i got-was it a hard conversion?lol
