Radiator fans ... Which one?

[Joe205]

Hey guys. Looking to replace the twin fan set up and horribly bulky cowling on the rallye . Rebuild will start next week and was wondering if anyone had any advice or bought any of eBay? Any help / info on what to look for would be spot on. :-)

Cheap ones work fine, expensive ones are 10-20% better flowing but 200-1000% more expensive.

Get the biggest thing you can wedge between the cross member and the slam panel and till be reet. You can get a 16" on a 306

So your saying go for a £20er over a £120 plus unit for pound per buck? Think I will be going for twin fan again so probs two 9 or 10 inch . Any particular watts?

The cheap ones are all the same essentially Id sit down and work out the area of 2 small ones compared to 1 big one and go for whatever gives the larger blown area.

Also 1 big one will be cheaper, less wiring, less current draw and the outer edges of the blades will be going faster.

Ok I will do. Cheers dum dum much appreciated

Oh and don't be tricked by the cheap ones with "curved blades like a £ra*e fan" as they probably wont move any useful amount of extra air.
