Hi i have done this mod to my Frontera sport (isuzu MU) and it was quite easy
1 remove the radiator and fix the fan and motor to it so it sucks air through the rad and into the engine bay - use mounting kit provided and fix securely
2 remove the viscious fan unit and any other parts not required ( I managed to remove the whole spindle and bearing and fitted a shortened drive belt
3 install the rad and fan assembly
4 check the clearences remember the engien does move but the fan doesn't check it wont contact
5 install the electrics with a cut off switch on the dash
6 i used a couple of diodes to ensure no back feed problems and wired the fans via a rad mounted temp switch from a trooper it fits into the blanked off hole in the top of the rad
7 i also fitted an adjustable thermostatic switch which has a sensor inside the top hose
8 wiring is permanently live with a 30 amp fuse for each source of power
9 the trooper sensor is the back up on at 100-105 - off at 90-95 and the adjustable is on at 98 off at 90
use good water proof tape and solder and heat shrink all joints
10 alll wiring is through 40 amp relays directly fused from the battery

you can see the rad mounted switch on the top of the rad and the adjustable top right of the frame
both fans run together in parallel and it cools like a freezer on speed

cheers

Coastie,
What is the reason you are doing an electric fan? I believe it was Tone (I could be wrong) who did an electric fan on his VX a while back. It did not cool as well as the stock fan. The horsepower gain is very little (not enough to notice). Unfortunately I think the thread that discussed it was on the old board and is no longer available (although you might search the archives on this board). If it was Tone maybe he will chime in.
The only thing the fan will do is provide a way to turn it off during deep water crossings.

also keep in mind that the temperatures greasemonkey mentioned are probably in C and not F

You'll have to forgive Tommy boy for jacking up the thread... but it does make for a more entertaining read!

Its hard to beat the stock fan.

I just crawled around Moab for four days and my electric fan did an excellent job of cooling. if you are only looking for a cooler engine, a fan alone wont do it, you'll need to change to a colder thermostat. and the stock fan cools the same as an electric.
