SLIM FAN QUESTION
So my radiator cracked on my car so I'm debating on replacing the fan to a slim fan since I have to replace my radiator. Any draw backs or anything I should consider if I do replace it to a slim fan? Should i be ok with just the fan or should i buy one with a shroud? The fans will be used on a half size dual core radiator for my DD which is exposed to 100+ temperatures in the summer time. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: SLIM FAN QUESTION
I'm running a blox slim fan on my half core mishimoto with no shroud (needed for clearance), it runs cooler than it did when stock ( higher cfm's) and super quiet, I wasn't expecting that performance but definitely glad i made the switch. I'm sure the shroud would help out even more, but its recently been 100deg consistently the past few days and the cars handled like a champ ( b18b with a small, overworked turbo putting out a massive amount of heat).

Re: SLIM FAN QUESTION
Shroud makes the difference. It just doesn't seem smart to me to upgrade the rad and run a slim fan without trying to maximize the cooling potential of the new hardware to the fullest.
