Default Spal fans?

using it with a 38mm fluidyne for a ITR-turbo, will it provide enough clearance between the radiator and turbo? also does it plug into the stock harness?

Thanks, mark

Also i'm looking to buy the fans so do you know where to get the cheapest prices?

I know the FAL fans do, but they are pricey. I have looked into the spal as well..

Try the unversal slim fans from Orielly or Autozone. A 10 inch fan runs about $70.00 bucks, and works great. Alot a turbo Honda's in Houston use them. There the best for the buck!

Spal makes great fans. To the best of my knowledge they provide more cfm per inch in diameter than all the other fans on the market. The fans will not plug directly into your stock harness. I have 2 of them on my off-road car. They are widely available. I buy mine through ORW in SoCal. That is, Off Road Warehouse.

I have a GSR with Fluidyne fan. I only have approximately 2.5" of clearance between the radiator and the turbo (hot side).

to not melt the fan, you need to try and have some extra clearance.

I opted with the SPAL 7" fan, and ran it towards the side.. Regardless,
the fan started to melt, so I bought some aluminum tape, and shielded
all the exposed parts. The fan's still working, so I'm assuming the shielding
I taped on works ok...

Anyway, a 7" fan for the driver's side works just fine.. don't need anything bigger.
