Good Inexpensive Fans

[krummel21]

I just purchased a FP3052 turbo and am not sure first off if I do need slimmer fans or not but I was going to buy some just in case. Here are the ones that I was looking at:

and

http://www.partzfinder.com/12_Electric_Cooling_Fan_p/pfp-1200.htm

I would get two 12" fans, which of the two choices do you guys think would be the best? Does anyone know or have fans that might be better for a comparable price?

Neither.
Keep stock or Spal fans if you can afford it.

Agreed, the cheap fans do nothing but give you overheating problems. I've only had good results with Spal and stock fans.

Well unless the seller is lying, the first ebay link is for a SPAL fan

Hey you're right, I guess I should've looked a little closer.

Stick with the stock ones (or just the stock radiator fan if you can't use both), I've only had problems with the aftermarket ones.

I was able to keep both stock fans with my 50-trim and TiAL 38mm, heres a pic:

I have had pretty good luck with just one 12" spal fan on my 1g. This comming summer however I will run a 10" on the other side of the radiator for some extra cooling.

Yea what I think i'm going to do is go ahead and install the turbo and at worst my a/c fan won't fit so I'll have to keep that off and order 2 12" SPAL's from that EBAY vendor. That way I don't spending anymore money than I have too. Hopefully everything will fit but I'm gong to have to wait to find out.

I dont think that 2 12" fans will fit.You will have to get a 10" for the other side.
