Mine work w/out issues and they do their job.

What happens when the fan motor gives out and the car starts to overheat? I am just playing devils advocate.

I have heard mixed reviews about the Mishimoto fans but... they do have a lifetime warranty.

You turn on the interior heat and keep on rolling until you can get a new fan installed.

So EBAY 14" fan it is and buy a spare just in case vs and Expensive SPAL. ( unless craigslist finds me a deal )

Any specific CFM im looking for? I see fans for say 14" but with various CFM ratings ESP from SPAL & Flexalite.

How would this work?

I think I used 12" fans(2 of them), but if people say they've used 14" fans then ya that should work. Why did you replace your stock fans anyways? No room? That was my reason at least. If for any other reason than idk why because stock fans work fine. If I could have used my stock fans I would have been dumb not to. You'll have to splice the custom fans in to the current plugs. Supposedly reversing polarity will change which way the fans spin, so make sure you splice them up correctly for pusher config.

Also, I went w/out ANY fans on a turbo car for quite a few months and even into the summer and I used the car as my DD. You really only have to worry about overheating during traffic or sitting w/the car idling for more than 5 minutes. This was tested w/Consult numerous times, especially in the summer months as I was worried about overheating.
