Sorry, I don't have that fan. But can say this, when I replaced my stocker with an electric, there was a definite off idle power increase that you could feel. Not night and day, but worth the switch.

I want to do this for 2 reasons,
1- what you said
2- since it's a slim fan it will make room infront of the engine so I wont' have to take everything down every time I want to put my hands there
well 3- use my new 130 amp alt I put it there for a reason

We've had great reviews on this product. Mishimoto makes a great part and I think you'll really enjoy it. You're looking to install this item for the exact same reasons as I would and I don' think you'll be disappointed.

Ive read nothing but bad things about Mishimoto quality. Hope you get a good one.

Since you live in Quebec, probably won't be an issue, but the dual 12" fans that I just installed don't move nearly enough air with the A/C on, but at least with the one you linked to, there isn't a shroud to reduce air-flow when you're moving, so you might be okay

Also, depending on how many amps it draws, your stock alternator might not hold up at idle.

There's a lot of speculation[1] that the stock fan pulls about 2500-3000CFM, so if you assume even 1500CFM for the stock fan, you're going to be losing air with the MishiMoto.

I'm personally thinking about going with dual 12" Derale Performance fans[2], supposedly rated at 4,000CFM and only drawing 18amps

Return it and buy a Mark 8 fan... Best E-fan on the market for a Fox. However, the fan motor DOES sit close to the water pump (mine is very close, in fact) and it requires some fabrication to install.

I'm going to give it a chance. here the hottest we get is like 104 or 40celsius and then again this happens only 1 time a year or maybe 2 times if we're very lucky yes I said if we're lucky

thanks all for your feedbacks.

Set contour fan cooled the crap out of my engine when the stock clutch fan couldn't keep up anynore.
