Getting an 38mm fluidyne and was wondering which fans to use, spal, permacool, etc..and which size?? this will go on a 2000 ITR turbo, I plan to keep a/c and maximize the space between the manifold and fan.

sorry, new to this fan thing....thanks.

 

somebody has to be running a fluidyne with a snail!! come now!

 

Try searching. Anyhow, buy some push style fans and put the fans on the otherside it'll make your life easier.

 

i thought about putting push fans on the out side but people are telling me that the radiator won't get sufficient cooling.

 

You're correct the a/c compressor side will not get enough cooling IMO w/ a pusher type fan.

I would recommend going with a puller on the a/c side. Spal makes good fans. Try this link http://www.jaycorptech.com/shop/shop...Cooling+Fansns

My friend uses a FAL fan.

 

I run the fluidyne with turbo (keeping A/C)

There is about 2.5" clearance between the compressor and the radiator...

FAL will not fit (not even the slimline).. I ended up buying a SPAL 7" fan
(2.05") and mounted it as far to the drivers side as I could.. I have about a
.75" clearance from the compressor in this configuration...

NOTE that since I run open wastegate, the exhaust started melting the fan (it's plastic), so I put a layer of aluminum tape all over the exposed surfaces.. This
seems to have stopped the melting.
