slimline fans

[Pug106-GTI]

does anyone know if you can fit two of the 10" slimline fans on a vts radiator? or are they not wide enough?

Iirc j222 jra put 2 10" on his rad
I know the 12" is too big to do it with

Why run 2 though they only cool the car on stand still otherwise theres airflow from you moving and they actually cause a blockage over the rad your doubling how much rad gets no air when moving

suprised people havent realised that 2 fans is pointless tbh

[J222JRA]

No theyre too big mate, if you want 2 youll need 9" fans.

The outer casing of the fan is too big on the 10" versions.

[AlexB]

knew youd know the answer lol

you got 9s then?

[J222JRA]

I sure did Mr Barnacle....the guy on ebay did me a very good deal.

That may be true but with two fans I like to think it will cool quicker than it would with one fan when the temperature does go up :)

I have one 12inch fan, will be swapping for two 9inches after crimbo as I plan to have one switchable in the cockpit. Might be worth doing yourself pug.

or have one/tue on a stat with an override switch

[stevo1600]

Indeed. I do keep a very sharp eye on the temp gauge when driving though, especially when I'm boosting about. Still a good idea.

Thats exactly what ive done.

One 9" fan gives a similar amount of cooling to a standard vts fan......if at any time extra cooling is needed.....in traffic for example i just flick the switch....voila.

Whats the point in slimline fans what's up with normal vtr/s fans

[blackie_2k5]

slimline look cooler for a cleaner bay for N/A engines an style whores

and create room for an intercooler on boosted engines :y:

[tichy]

How much are they and where do you get them from

[blackie_2k5]

ebay, £15-100 for some fancey fuckers... they all do pretty much the same, just keep an eye on the blade design as some of them are poorer then others

[tichy]

Are they easy enough to wire up etc
