Radiator fan

[2GKiller03]

My radistor fan does not work
Can i just put a mishimoto radiator fan shroud in it?
Or do i have to buy the actually radiator too?

I don't know the answer to your question but before you go dropping lots of money on this problem are you 100% sure its the fan thats gone bad?

If your fans don't turn on, it is most likely an electrical issue: switches, relays, fuses, etc.

A new shroud or radiator won't help you at all.

There are plenty of posts on this forum with help for this problem, just do a quick search and you will find plenty of suggestions.

get out your DMM, or get one. You are going to need it.

Your going to have to pull your fan relay and jump it to see if the fans kick on...if they do, then is either wiring or a relay, if they dont then its either wiring or your fan. Don't use those Mishimoto crap fans there ebay fans with there sticker on them. Use either a good stock one or if you want a slim fan for more room for a bigger turbo...buy spal fans I run 13" 1710 cfm fan with a 11" ac fan and never have any cooling issues, even with a fmic

I have to agree here. Try swapping the relay and replacing the thermostat. On my Del Sol the engine fan did not turn on until after I replaced the thermostat.

Also, the stock fans flow really well. I would not replace them unless you have to. You can find a complete fan and shroud for cheap at your local Salvage yard. My local yard has dozens of them.

If you are set on going after market I echo what has been said about the Spal fans - they come highly recommended.

Thermostats have nothing to do with fans turning on ...specially on a 2g its controlled by the ecu through the temp sensor. On a 1g there's a temp swich on the radiator.
