Has anyone done it, and if so, wut size fan is a good size? I have a chance to get my hands on 15in fan dirt cheap and was wondering if I could use it on the 22RE?

Sure you could. As long as it fits between your radiator and engine, and covers most of the radiator. A good adjustable thermostat would be in order as well. It's nice when you don't have all of that wind noise from that finger catcher whirling around under the hood!

Use a Centech fan controller that you set to come on @ what ever tepm you want, also installed a manuel override swith @ the dash so when in triffic can turn on before the set point!

Using a electric fan frees up HP, as less driven from the crank.

Cheap fix is wire it up for key on operation. I had my S15 wired like that and never had a prob in 4 or 5 years.

Is it ok to run it constantly on so when I turn the ignition to the "On Position" it is constantly on?

I never had a problem with this method.
