best fans? - philpemberton94 - 07-04-2015 It's about time I fitted some slim lines to my dt as I've not had any fans throughout winter but summer is on its way so need to sort it out, any recommendations to which I should buy? 1 or two fans and front or back of the rad? Cheers! RE: best fans? - Nath140889 - 07-04-2015 I ran two 12s on the front of my rad and two switches one kept it cool enough sat in traffic and both on for hooning hard especially in summer RE: best fans? - Paul Baldwin - 07-04-2015 Pacet are good, have used them in the past. Not cheap tho! RE: best fans? - zx_volcane - 08-04-2015 I've got two (12inch?) on my rad - cheapest ebay specials I could find Do the job of keeping it cool in traffic, which is basically their only function RE: best fans? - Paul_13 - 08-04-2015 Same 2 x cheapest slimline fans off ebay RE: best fans? - bashbarnard - 08-04-2015 I bought one 14inch one cost £15.95 including postage. Works a treat RE: best fans? - Piggy - 08-04-2015 you can have a spare 12" one I have for £8 posted RE: best fans? - r3k1355 - 08-04-2015 I ran one 12" fan on my DT, looked like an eBay jobbie - I never looked too hard. Did an excellent job keeping the car cool, even on the hottest day sat in Traffic on a motorway.

It more efficient to pull the air through the radiator, aka have the fans on the inside, however not always possible with space, intercoolers or a V6 in the way! On the Goodwood i have 2 14inch fans, 406'radiator is quite large. RE: best fans? - Nath140889 - 12-04-2015 I had a pretty dead rad and a pressurizing head, the fans were fitted for traffic but i was also running 26psi on a tmic for a while so temps were not great at times |
