i got my turbo kit installed and i cant use the stock fan. what size do i nee i have a aftermarket radiator.

 

SPAL 13" end of story.

 

thank you

 

You can buy a cheap universal eBay fan, go to a sheet metal fabricator and have them bend you up a shroud (basically a lid for a box if that makes any sense) and mount it to the stock radiator for under $100. You'll find this works much better than any overprice SPAL fan. The shroud is what makes this setup really work well.

If your in for the bling factor, be my guess on the SPAL...

 

i baught 2 12inch off ebay for 40 shipped

 

That will definitely get the job done.

 

in my experience the cheaper slim fans do not provide proper cooling especially if you have a quality fmic blocking the front grill. now for a 96 civic with the extra grill you might be ok. if you do stick with the ebay slim fan, do as jdmjerk suggested and get a shroud made. it will increase effeciency dramatically.

i use the spal 13" myself and only see temps climb during long drives on hot days. turbo blanket and fan shroud are getting installed before summer comes around.
