$200 Fan Upgrade for my RX-7 - Is it Worth it?

Ойын-сауық

My name is Aaron Forrester, and in this video, I swap out my old 1993 fan blades and motors from my FD body Mazda RX-7 and replace them with newer RX-8 Fan blades and Motors in an attempt to improve my cooling even more. Using an airflow meter, I compare the before and after readings to determine if this $200 investment is worth the time and effort.
Part Numbers:
S2 series RX-8 Fan Motors: N3R115150 ( You will need 2 of these)
Right Fan Blade: RF1S15140
Left Fan Blade: RF2A15140

    Good vid 👍 would be interesting to see if there's a good weatherproof aftermarket connector to use if you're having to splice connectors anyway.

    You can pick up a DTM style connector that will do that for ya if you're going for waterproof.

    Which fan cranked out more cfm? Would it be beneficial to get two of the same fan blades instead of the left and right one?

    Which fan as in the left rx8 vs the right rx8 fan blades. I’d assume the one with more blades was the one that cranked out the 5.1? And it looked like the left one did 3.3?

    The 6 bladed fan had a higher cfm than the 5 blade fan, however, I cannot say if having two of the same fans would be any better. But I'd be interested in knowing that too.

    So i'm struggling here 2023... I have the part you suggest, however the drivers side fan does not fit the shaft on the passenger side motor (the motor you suggest getting 2 of...).... What's up... Thanks, Hop

    Best thing to do is get two electric motors and the 2 fans as well. Aside from the connectors, you'll really only be using the fan shroud... everything else is set aside. Use the forum link below for additional help 😀 www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/rx8-fans-rx7-fd-1085155/

    there are a few things to check: make sure your cabin fan is at 4 (weird I know but try it). Try pressing the AC button, Key on/Engine off/cabin fan at 4. use a multimeter to check if the plug is getting voltage. Check your relays are still good. If in doubt, pull up the wiring diagram and visit rx7club.com Hope that helps

    You'll need to hunt online to get the best deal. Ebay and Google are gonna be your best friend. Ray Crowe sells the motors for $68 a piece.
