One fan will be fine. Especially for a car with no AC.

I only used one fan on my car for over 2 years with no problem at all, Car was running 400 bhp at the fly, But i did have the big Koyo 53mm rad and 19 row mocal oil cooler.

I think you will struggle to fit both fans if you fit a 3076R, I couldn't couldn't get both in with my old JGYBB37R turbo, But I'm not sure just how much extra room you'd have with a standard rad.

one fan behind the rad pulling.

reason being if its infront its blocking air flow thats going to the radiator. while your driving the fan will only get in the way even if its on.

get a koyo radiator, a nismo t stat, water temp gauge and you'll be ok.

stratton.

I have 2 10" slim fans but they never turn on :-/ who knows. When Im driving car stays at a constant 210. If im sitting in traffic the temp goes up a little, I have no idea why the fans dont come on. Boosted as well.

Cool guys, I already ordered two 12" fans from Serban, so we'll see how fitment is when I hook 'em up. If I only have room for one, I'll either sell the other, or keep it as a spare.

Thanks again for the advice.

And Sneaky, There's not many faults that could cause your fans not to kick on. Worst case scenario, just wire them to a switch and turn them on manually, until you diagnose the real problem.

hmmm my edit button is gone.... but thats prolly your temp sensor i think.... try turning on your AC (if u still have it) and if the fans come on its probably your temp sensor i would think

don't think anything that big would fit with the intercooler he's getting. Don't ask me how I know...

Your suspension is coming off today...
