Rad fans
Hey guys, I'd like your opinion here... I'm running a koyo radiator and a meziere EWP. I currently have one slim fan that I'm planning on running as a pusher. Is that going to be enough? If I'm pushing will I need to have 2 fans? I've seen conflicting posts where some say one is enough with a koyo rad, and others where others say that the fans aren't efficient enough in a pusher configuration. Anyone have any experience to back this up? Anyone running a single pushing fan with a koyo?

A koyo, and electric pump. I think 1 fan should do just fine. A koyo with one fan generally does just fine with the stock water pump.

Give it a try. If you start to overheat, add another fan. But I think 2 fans would prob be overkill.

Is it a bad thing to have use 2 fans? as long as you can fit both fans, you might as well do it now, i dont think there's a such thing as too much cooling....and I'm assuming this is a turbo build or something of the sort...

idk what fans you are using but mishimoto 12" slims are about $60 each

I run one 12" pusher on my Koyo radiator with no issue, now I am running one 16" on my half size moshimoto radiator. You should be fine man.

Can the mishimoto be used as a pusher or puller?

On my old B14 setup i ran 2 12" universal ebay fans. Had no problems, you could use them as both push and pullers, just by flipping the fan blade around

yeah i'm using the 10" fans from autozone, and i had to flip the blade as well

I'm not sure, but i think it should be the same case w/ the mishimotos...i want to upgrade

Mishimoto are just expensive fans. The ebay ones do the same job and cost half the price. yes flip the blade around shoud be the same as the Mishimoto's
