anybody recommend a good fan?

[boysie]

as per title really!:)

im after a slimline fan, to go on b18ft conversion with a new ally rad,

but noticed theres a real big difference with prices from £25 ebay jobs to £120 for spal jobs:eek:

anyone any experiance with these? are the ebay fans up to job, and are the spal ones worth the extra cash, or are you just paying for a name:confused:

oh, and what size are the 5 fans! not near mine to measure it!:rolleyes:

Spal, Spal, Spal. Look at the flow rates and you'll see why.

got an alloy rad cooling my b18ft with a standard fan is tight but does work.

tried standard fan on mine, it does fit too but bottom rad hose is really close to fan and i have oil cooler hoses running close to it, so thought i better not risk it and get a slimline fan with a decent gaurd!

plus the fact any manky fan looks sh*te on my shiney new rad!:laugh:

I have 2 spal, there spot on for me, they have to pull through the rad and intercooler and have no trouble.

i have one of the cheap ones and it cools my 5 nicely

what size are you using 10 or 12"?

dave, how did you manage to fit 2!:eek:

a radtec intercooler fills the standard rad space and a rectangle rad with the twin fans sits behind.. very tight.. this isn't it but you get the idea.. http://radtec.co.uk/products/305/205-Radiator-short-version.htm
