I want to replace my auxilary e-fan with an aftermarket fan that's quieter and maybe more powerful. What size is the stock e-fan and any good priced fans to swap it with?

Why not pull your mech fan and install a double or triple fan with a sensor/switch

Well my stock fan vibrates really bad. I think the bearings are going or something with the motor. Anything would be better than this one lol.
Do you know the cfm rating for the stock fan?

You can get a replacement fan from a junkyard for a few dollars, or try a new OMIX-ADA replacement fan.

Thanks for the suggestions. i can get a good brand e-fan for less than the oem fan, which is strange so i'm not aiming for another stock fan.

I don't think that data was ever published. Some sites might give a number but it's probably based on a guesstimate.

Don't forget that a lot of the efficiency of the fan comes from the shroud. If you just throw another fan without a shroud, it may not do the job you are looking for. If you search "Taurus fan", you will probably get a lot of info about that most common swap and others.
OK. Googled "efan cfm naxja" and came up with this: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=991837

Yeah I'm planning on re-using the existing shroud to fit a 10 or 11 inch fan inside of it.
I found the specs for the fan from my other local board:
The stock fan ('97 & up) is;
Bosch GPB 12v 13.5Amps
12" dia x 3.25" depth
Flow;
.25 Cubic Meter Per Sec
900 Cubic Meter Per Hour
530 Cubic Foot Per Minute
So it's 530 cfm and I'm gonna look for a 700-900 cfm fan, probably from summit.
