Default Fluidyne Radiators and Flex-a-lite cooling fans

Does anyone have a Fluidyne radiator installed on their ITR's? If so, are you using any aftermarket cooling fans?

I dont think you can use the 38mm Fluidyne and the stock condensor fan...not sure which FAL you need, though, off the top of my head.

I know that if I do use the 38mm Fluidyne, that the driver's side fan has to go.
Since I'm gonna have to take that fan out, I might as well just go ahead and take both out and swap in slimmer, more powerful fans. My plan is to get the 38mm and put the right FAL's in. But the only doubt I'm having is will the FAL's for my ITR be a direct fit to the Fluidyne 38mm, and if not, how much modification will be needed. I'm really hoping for a direct fit, but modifying my car is never that easy! hehe!

if you get the integra fluidine and the integra fal (dual) fan you are all set. bolt in affair. The fluidines are bolt in and can use the stock fans(except on AC) and the FAL fans are meant to bolt onto the stock radiaotors.

Well, I just found out from Steve at Fluidyne that there are no fan mounts for the fan on the drivers side on the 38mm. I dont know what to do now. hehe!
