Default best powerful radiator fans info needed

doing a boot mounted rad conversion using an Airtec 60mm Cosworth radiator, so looking at getting two 11" fans for it, would prefer slim line but space will not be to much of a problem if bigger,as long as there powerful. any suggestions.

SPAL all the way - just open the boot and let them rip, you won't need the engine

Spal make great fans, just get the biggest airflow you can, as there are some normal and high powered ones. Although the high powered ones can be very expensive.

Wouldnt put one of those POS plastic water pumps near my car though.

what's the problem with the ewp, is it common for Davis Craig to fail or something, whats a better option.

Basically they dont flow very well, and they're cheaply made. And as for reliability....debatable.

I actually tried one myself over 10 years ago, now they may changed since then, but certainly then they were rubbish. I actually gave mine away, as didnt have the audacity to charge anyone money for it.

A recent topic over on PH.
