Default Custom Fan to keep car cool.

I think of doing a radiator tuck in my turbo car. If that then i need to find a fan like in the 6" range. but i need a powerful one to be able to cool it down. other wise it no use. So any advice would work great thank you.

Good luck, no way a 6" fan is going to cut it on a street car on gas. Assuming this is a street car on gas.

tIt is getting transforming to a drag car only. I was thinking maybe i just need to put a elect. water pump. maybe that would help it some.

What kind of radiator do you have? Remember a fan shroud is very important with a strong fan. Honestly Tony has a custom shroud and spal fan that flows almost 2000 cfms i believe. Its made to mate with a koyo, however i have a pwr and did very little mods to make it fit. Let me tell you...its amazing how cooler my car stays with this setup. Serious it did just as good if not better than my electric pump i ran last year, which seized twice and caused me a motor. old setup i had the fan wired to be on the whole time, this setup we had to keep unplugging it to warm the car up. So we rewired it to a relay to come on at 175. Its was a night and day difference to my setup.
