Default Radiator fan wont fit! FAL? 1 or 2?

After my turbo install the radiator fan doesnt fit. So I understand I am suppose to use a pusher fan from the other side. Is FAL the only brand and where do I get one from? Also how big is recommended? Is 2 smaller better than 1 bigger? Do I need one Integra specific? Sorry for all the questions but I really want to finish this right! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

you can get the fal's or autozne sells some universal pusher fans for like $60

they are around 850 cfm for the 12" if i remember correctly.

these attach with zip straps.

I trimmed mine and moved it over a bit to make it fit.

I have never heard of spal. I am watching that one on ebay now I might buy that. Are they just a straight wire hook up?

Where do you find these fan zip straps at? I've looked around the local auto stores and the employee's are dumbfounded when i tell them exactly what I need.

Tell them you need an install kit for a trans cooler, they are the same ties. If you still have a problem call Summit or jegs they should have what you need. The kits are cheap though so you would probably pay more for shipping LOL.

the straps come with the imperial fans you get at autozone.

you can always use zippie ties and small plastic washers to hold it onto the radiator.

How do the different brands of fans stack up?
Flex-lite
FAL
Spal
Generic Autozone
what else is there?

I dont want to buy junk fans but also dont want to spend $300 for friggin fans.

I"m using Spal in my 355 V8 Porsche 997, I had used summit racing brand in my 327 V8 Porsche 914. I like them all. Just look for the flow rate. Most of the aftermarket fans are thin.IMO, 2 are always better than one if the radiator have room for 2.
