Have just bought some 8" kenlowes off some chap on here, will these provide adequate power for cooling on my radtech cooler or do i need 10" or say a single 14" or 16" fan??? any help i would be grateful, thanks in advance.

 

Hello Milesy, was it you i sold the fans to???? i can't remember?

Any how, i believe my car had a single 8", if you manually switched the fan on early and were sensible you could maintain a temperature, so 2 8" fans should be able to cool the car.... i currently have 2 10" spals which i am confident will cool the car very well. You might be able to squeeze 2 16" fans in there, one in front of the rad and one behind... or one 16" up front with your two 8" fans in between the intercooler and rad. I think this would work well.

Rob,

 

Hello rob, no m8 i bought them off rhinopower (ryan) thats good to know m8 as was concerned about them being too small as i have used 10" and 12" before on front mounts also have a fan switch as you say. Been reading your thread about polishing and porting heads makes interesting reading m8

 

ahhh thats it, i think you may have wanted to buy something when i was selling a few bits... intercooler maybe?? you should be alright with the fans, not the end of the world if not i guess... and yes the head thread looks fairly interesting, just hope i can put some of it into practice!

Rob,

 

they will be ok mate

 

Hi,
I've got one 10" fan running on mine so two 8" will be plenty.
You can buy the THERMOSTAT KIT (IN-WATER) direct from kenlow which enables you to completely overide the car thermostat control so it kicks in earlier or later depending on what style of driving your doing.

Buy it direct from kenlowe tho works out cheaper thier number is +44 (0)1628 823303

Hope this helps
Barney

 

Cheers everyone for your help.
