Default would this size slim fan fit stock civic radiator?

10"slim fan. 11.2"(h) x 10.59"(w) x 2.05"(d)?

i usually hear people using 12" slim fans or b18bturbo's slim fans....12"(h) x 11.5"(w) x 2.5" (d).


the one i want to use is slighter smaller. what do u guys think?

the 12" fan is not a lot stronger than the 10", so with 10", you will be fine

how is a 10" stronger than a 12" if it puts out more cfms?

th 10" about 1000cfm to 1200cfm vs 1400cfm -1600cfm depending on the method

we usualyl dont sell alot of 10" fans but we have them as well they usually sold in pairs for people trying to put 2 in the stock locations works perfect that way

I didn't say the 10" was stronger than a 12", read my post again. There is only a couple hundred difference in cfm between the 10" and the 12"

Because it's not an FAL fan with an OEM style shroud that bolts into stock location. Also, I'm using mine as a pusher fan for clearance, and had to move the fan a little off center on the radiator. The zip ties have it on there solid, and it was cheap and easy.

PM me if you're interested in 40 dollar 12" proform fans.

Even cheaper if you want Hayden slim fans.
