im buyin a suck type slim line im going to put it behind my pace rad i have two questions tho will a single 12inch one be good enough and will it clear my t3 i also have a grs front mount so can put the rad foward any info would be appreciated

[stevo™]

anyone?

[matty872]

I doubt it will clear the turbo Idealy you need a blower mounted in between the rad and cooler. try this link they sell slimline fans only 2" deep. http://www.autospecialists.co.uk/

yeah mate ur never gonna get it on the inside of ur bay with a t3. i had the same trouble i spaced the rad forward abit as the t3 act touches the rad. iv ordered vibratechnics to help stop the engine moving so it dont get my rad. then iv fitted a pro alloy front mounted intercooler custom mounted leaving me 56mm inbetween the rad and intercooler to fit my 52mm 12"blower fan to be honest i wish i had fitted a xr2i rad so i could fit more fans but maybe il do that in the future

Spal are the thinest one's there around 52mm and it's easyer to put them in between the rad and intercooler i would use a blowing fan as your car will run loads hotter and as your driving it with blow air through the rad the same way the cold air is flowing and buy a 82* thermosat im using a 75*

What size fans are you running? I need to upgrade mine as I only have a 8" spal at the moment

[j7aoc]

The one on the left is a spal copy and is 11" around 52mm think and my car was still running hot so i found the one on the right off ebay which is a real spal fan aroun 8" which was off a motor bike it they come on some as standard

[JamieFRST]

Standard on the front


10" kenlowe on the rear

[stevo™]

so best place for it is inbetween and to get a blower would one 12 be enough?

[j7aoc]

mixon don't think that would work for him as he's running a t3. stevo i would say yes or try and get 2 10 inch one's if they fit

[stevo™]

would two 12s fit if not il go for a 12 and a 8 like you

[j7aoc]

would two 12s fit if not il go for a 12 and a 8 like you

Mine right on the edge so i woul say no 2 9"inch would be about right

Ah right didnt see that. If you sticking with the smaller size rad, then i'd go for a setup like j7aoc. The standard fan is very good, I know it looks abit odd with two different size fans but its a good setup. Replace the thermosat as well.

This was my previous setup. With the grs in front it didnt stay cool enough.

[stevo™]

il get a 12 and a 9 then and i already have a new thermostat waiting to go in
cheers lads

You need a longer rad (full width) if your going to block direct air flow with an intercooler infront.
