My radiator fans dont work, all the clips and stuff are broken, so im gonna want to replace all of it... Whats the best choice for a d16z6 swap? Is a stock one fine?

 

A stock one should be fine. I'm running a stock one on my ~11:1 b18c1 swap and it keeps it cool all day long. There are some all-metal ones you can get for like $99 dollars and they're slightly bigger than stock. I'd invest in one of these.

 

where do i find one of these?

 

You can just hardwire the wiring together and don't have to use the harness.

You can get them from http://www.absoluteradiator.com I know Driven has one of these in his autox crx and I think he's pretty happy with it.

I just checked the site and its actually $122 for the all-metal one. It's twice as thick as the stock unit. They also have all-aluminum ones but those are more.

edit: you can hardwire your fans to come on when the ignition is on. I did this as a temporary fix because my fan switch was broken
