Thread: Fan Recomendation

Thing to do before considering a fan like this, is to measure your available space. That way you know what will fit. Plus, if running a pusher you have to clear the upper and lower radiator supports, as well as the vertical support between them. I'm not sure of the differences between the B14 and the B13 though.

I have a single 12" on my B14. Running a half-size radiator though.

Thanks, Im going to find a single 12"

If you read the 14" reccommendation right, you would of caught he said he was running a koyo. Not a stock rad.

Yeah its pretty obvious I missed that part, Oh well not the end of the world... Ill sell the 14" and get a 12" asap...

two 12" fans on a G20 radiator fit perfectly. G20 radiator is a tad taller, but I'm pretty sure I had a decent amount of space, at least on the top and bottom.

Cool purchasing a 12" today ill keep you guys posted.. Theres 2 options

$75 = 870 cubic feet per minute
$120 = 1230 cubic feet per minute

Only running 1 so may opt for the higher just dont wanna purchase if its overkill.

Why only 1? Also, I'd just go the Ebay route. You will hardly ever use your fans anyways unless you are driving in a lot of stop and go traffic or using it as a track car.

Too late for the ebay route, I bought a 14" SPAL 3 months ago, Just found out it doesnt fit. The guy I bought it from ( store on ebay ) said if you buy a 12" from me ill refund you 90% of the cost. So he will basically do a free exchange.

Well I picked up my 12" SPAL Pusher fan which promises to push 1230CFM so we should be good to go...
If anyone is wondering this bad boy fits perfect.. I mean perfect! If you lay it on the radiator it wont lay
flat you tap it barely and falls into place.






Anyone know what if it just wires up with black to black and blue to blue? I have no battery and have to solder
my OEM plug to the wires. ( car is not running so cant test )

Thanks,

Ive always used Flexalite 1250 cfm fans. They are clean, have a rubber seal around them, Fit nicely and push a ton of air and are thin to fit in tight spaces. Im using a single one now with my civic half width, 2 core radiator and it cools perfectly, When i had my full size radiator i was using the dual flexalites total of 2500 cfm and they move some air. They are expensive though but they last forever, very high quality, and dont have to worry about them.

As for your question about which way to wire, it all depends on what way you want the air to flow. Almost any fan can be a pusher or puller, It all depends on which way you wire the fan up. If the fan was originally called a pusher then i would have to guess the blue would be positive and black ground, If you want it to pull just wire it up opposite. If the fan was originally stated as a puller, the blue is again positive and black ground. If you want it to push, wire it up opposite. Its easiest to just test it out with a battery first before wiring it up to be sure. I would suggest that.
