Default Koyo Radiator+Cooling Fan=Problems

I just got my koyo radiator, and it fits perfect. Now i try to put my oem cooling fan, and it wont fit. So Do I have to buy an aftermarket Cooling fan??? I've been driving my 93 honda prelude without the fans, and it doesnt over heat.. So Do I need Cooling fans???

The H22 and H23 radiators have different fanmounting points, so you probably got the wrong fan fo your application. Try finding an OEM fan that fits...or get an aftermarket if you like.

Either way you do need a fan, it will overheat on hot days or while sitting still.

if you got the right koyo radiator for your car, your stock fans will bolt up properly, no changing of fans needed.

I was woundering the same thing... b/c if you have the aluminum racing radiator... its going to be damn near impossible to fit the stock fans on there.. thus the need to use slim fans...

My Koyo Radiator is pretty polished and aluminum, and its pretty pretty thick. And my fan will fit perfectly. But wont Bolt up some reason. So if there is slim fans out there, where can you go and buy some?????
