Default Anyone with a Fluidyne radiator(especially for a 5th gen Lude)- please help me- I need another fan f

I still haven't found a fan that is thinner than a FAL fan. I can't buy another Fluidyne fan because it is too thick and will not fit between the radiator and the turbo. Anyone know who makes a VERY thin, PAPERTHIN electric fan? I don't care what it looks like, just as long as it is thin and ~11". Please help a guy out, I don't want to be running only 1 fan

i got my fans from summit racing. they are reallyyyyy thin and are dual 11". i decided to put them in the same location that dustin put his. i tried to find the fans on summitracing.com but i couldnt find them and i am not sure of the part number, if you have the catalogue it is in the section with radiators and such. they run about $180ish and you can also get these fans with an adjustable thermostat for i believe 225-250.

Get a SPAL fan, I have one in my CRX. it really thin, I think around 2 inches or so. and when it comes on, its almost as loud as the turbo.

Well, I wonder which I need though- push style or puller style? I think I am going to mount them between the radiator and the turbo(basically like the stock setup).

Also,in case I didn't have enough room, could I make a pusher/puller fan into the other? It seems like the 11" SPAL pusher and puller fan are the same in every demension, and power, just that they flow different directions.

Thanks!
