    Blake the choice as it stands is either DC or SPAL, now the large fan (exhaust side) as I measured is around 14inch, now the 14inch DC fans don't fit. As they are too fat.

    So it appears the decision will be to go with the SPAL slimline fans, as you can get up to a 16inch size fan thats still only 52mm thick.

    Bigger fan = more flow, given the under bonnet temp on the exhaust side I need as much as I can get.

    More then likely I'll order through supercheap as I think there open on thursday nights which means if I try really hard I may just get this thing to the dyno day

    but remeber the size of your rad,

    you could easily get away with twin 10" fans, as your rad would have a MASSIVE cooling effeiciency just by itself, due to its size,

    btw, how much did it cost youfor the rad, if you dont mind...

    cheers, blake

    Yes massive radiator but you want to be able to draw air through it . Ie once it gets hot you'll need to push more air through to bring the temps back down, ie traffic . The car will be my daily driver soon.

    Some day i'll get round to HPC coating the extractors

    It was $860 delivered from Forcefed6

    Well just rang PWR, they don't bring the 14inch and 10 inch Slimline SPAL into Aus, so I have ordered 2 12inch ones instead.

    Yay to spending money.
