Recommended Radiator Fan(s)?

[turtlebain]

My radiator has a leak, so I'm about to order this KOYO Half-size radiator & AN Lines & Fittings

Any recommendations on a fan to use with this setup? I was thinking this Flex-a-lite 8-blade Puller.

Sounds to me like you got the right stuff

Model #s? Or just in general? Why don't you recommend the FAL?

Mishimoto fans flow way less than the FAL(flex-a-lite) fans for some odd reason. I would recommend a FAL fan for a half size radiator. I had coolant temp issues all summer with one mishimoto fan(the radiator is under my headlight so airflow to it is nil) but it is flowing significantly less air than the FAL I just bought.

Spend money on a good fan if you want/need something that actually moves some air. Most of the slim fans on the market are garbage.

Typically the thicker the fan (& the larger the diameter), the more air it moves, so go with the biggest you can fit. I would recommend looking at SPAL fans or Derale.

Thank guys for your advice, I ended up going with the Flex-a-lite. I'm really glad I did, you can tell it's a quality piece - the materials and build quality appear to be top notch. Spin it, and it rotates for about a minute. Also picked up a boost gauge while I was there which was waiting to be shipped to me. And they threw in the shifter bearings!! Thanks STM.
