[QUOTE="loafer, post: 303087, member: 10508"] Here's a DIY write up. [URL]http://www.understeer.com/fanclutchmod.shtml[/URL] The mod is claimed to free up parasitic drag on the engine. Some people still argue that by removing the fan clutch (which is driven by your engine) helps gain some lost power, but by adding an eletrical fan you are effectively making the alternator work harder. My knowledge of the inner workings of an engine is still pretty limited so I can't be 100% sure if it's true but it has been proven that by doing the fan clutch delete mod you'll gain some lost power. Also another reason people remove this is due to the fact that the OEM fan becomes brittle as it ages and can sometimes break apart during high speed. [/QUOTE]
