you don't need to spend 200 bucks on a fan, but you can not use the aftermarket fans for this.
I have tried literally half a dozen of them over the years and none of them pulled enough air.

there are 3 or 4 known good oem ones you can get from junkyards or new for less than 200 bucks. and of course the monster mercedes fan if you really need it.

90's maxima's have the split 2 fan setup. it works, are fairly inexpensive at the yards.

HHR fans have been known to work well, and as I recall can be had new for under 100 bucks.

T-bird fans and something similar are known to work well I think it is the concourse or something like that ford that is supposed to have a simlar fan.

and of course again the mercedes fan.
