uhh aftermarket radiator fans?

okaaaaaaay, so I don't have any radiator fans. Obviously I need some, especially with summer around the corner.

The problem is that I don't know what size to get ... I'm currently running a Fluidyne aluminum radiator.

I checked the Fluidyne website and they sell fans ... so I'm wondering what I can use. I'm hoping I can use 2 12" ultra slim fans .. but if not, hopefully a 14" or 16" would work too...

anyone know???

05CoupeCivic is an unknown quantity at this point

I have a q as well, do aftermarket fans give any real advantage over stock? other than slimmer i guess?

im not sure what the air flow of the stock fans are, but ive seen 10" slims pushing 1200 cfm for 50 bucks. how can you find the specs on the stock fan, i guess you could just get them if you needed space for the turbo as the deciding factor.

FAL has universal fan applications... you might need someone to custom fab a mounting bracket for the fans...

Yeah just go to kregan or sometihng and pick up a couple universal fans. there are a couple sizes so take um out and look at them. They come with the little clips you poke threw the fins of the radiotor. *dont worry it doenst dammage the radiator.* THats what im running... You ar k-swapped right? That or you have to go with AC condinsor fans to fit.
