Bolt in a vitara viscous fan. No modifications are required. It's much bigger than a 1.3 fan, and it's 500% more reliable than an electric fan.

What Steve said X1000.

Here's a guide on how to refill the oil on one. Might as well do it before you fit it.

What makes you think the current fan is to small, is it overheating? Edit, beaten.

Never said the electric ones were any good. He gave us a vague question so I gave him a vague answer

Yes, but you need the viscous hub that goes in the middle too.

Here are some comparison photos.

Image

From left, a 1.0 fan, a vitara fan and a 660cc sierra fan, which is basically the same as a 1.3 fan.

Image

And a 660cc/1.3 fan laid over the vitara fan.

Image

And the vitara fan in the car. It's a really tight fit inside the 1.3 shroud, which is awesome for the efficiency of the fan. This was my car running a 660, but it doesn't matter. Fan location and radiator is the same. I swapped from this to a magna thermo which was the same size due to water pump problems and my car overheated. Electric fans bring the suck.

Get one from a wrecker. I think you can get knockoffs from Ebay, but as they are non genuine, who knows?

I don't know anybody that has fitted one of these that has subsequently had ANY problem with overheating.

It's what I would run if I still had the radiator in the front of my car.

Id be looking at some thing else thats giving you the overheating issues. Stock fan should work fine.

I disagree. I recall a club member with a stock sierra that was fresh off the showroom floor overheating in 1996. They don't overheat with a vitara fan.

Make sure the stock fan is bolted on the right way. I made that mistake lol

might be 500% more reliable than a electric fan , but its still less reliable than a direct drive fan that they come with stock.
