ok guys i just bought a mishitimoto radiator and i bougth one slim fan and i wasnt sure if i could just use one fan or am i definitly going to need two? maybe this is a dumb question but honestly i never even hear my fans turn on so... i didnt think it would be a problem... maybe im wrong
\
Thanks all.

 

bump.

 

really shouldnt be a problem, i am running my integra on a civic radiator and one fan and my engines built and turboed and never had a problem with it over heating, didnt even go past the normal mark from when i had my stock radiator and two fans...

 

1 fan is sufficient

Only one fan is used stock anyway. The driver's side fan is for the A/C condensor and doesn't come on unless the A/C is turned on.

Slim fans typically pull/push more air anyway, so you'll be fine.

 

I'm running a civic half size Mishimoto radiator in my ls/vtec turbo integra with 1 14 in slim fan and it's working beyond my expectations. I even hooked mine up to the stock connections and it's working perfectly.

I'm pretty sure that when my car gets up to operating temperature but the car is not moving, both fans come on. With a full-width radiator you need both fans pulling air through it.

 

the only time the second fan comes on is if you overheat or ac is on

 

I'm going to check that later on, because I'm still sure that if my car sits and idles for awhile, with A/C off, both fans will cycle on for a moment and then turn back off.

 

thanks a lot guys

 

confirmed today, both fans come on to pull air through the radiator while the car is idling, even with all accessories and A/C switched off.
