just my opinion though.
and im not too sure on the higher rpm problem, and its not like an sr/ka really has any reason to be that high on the rpms for any long amount of time really.
but a yashio factory water pump pulley would probably help some.
i like the way it looks with the clutch fan and shroud. as long as the rest of the engine bay looks pretty stock.
The compromise I've come up with is a decent e-fan mounted to radiator with it own little shroud.
It isn't the same, but at least I don't get pissed off when trying to adjust the belts.
that and I think that with the stock shroud, you can do an oil change without getting under the car where as you can't with the stock one there... I think, I can't remember...
