    Default ra23 hyundai radiator thermos question

    howdy happy modders,
    Just about finished putting a excel rad into my RA, just wondering what people have done for thermo fans with this swap as ive got very little room behind the radiator (due to good ol 1g!) and need some kind of non-ambient airflow
    p.s anyone know the maximum power an excel radiator would be able to cool reliably?

    Don't forget you don't have to mount fans behind the radiator. They can be mounted in front as long as rotation of fan is pushing the air through.
    I mounted one each side with my 1G conversion.I used a laser radiator which i imagine would have about the same capacity as an excel one.
    It works perfectly and the fans rarely cut in when the car is moving.
