I'm very interested in this as well. How many cars are being daily driven with the suggested fans? Which brands have people experienced failures with if tryin to run them alot for daily driving?

I drive my car 300+ miles a week to/from work & running around. So I'd like to find a good durable fan with good life expectancy as well as pushing alot of air, if this is possible anyhow. I'm still in the piecing together stuff stages & would like to only do things once.

Look into Zirgo fans. They have a 12" that is rated at over 1200cfm. They also have a 14" at over 2000cfm. Good prices too.

I'm curious at what point fans become like other parts. For example you get what you pay for.

Are the cheaper fans built just as well but sold cheaper due to brand name/popularity or do you really get a inferior product just to save a couple $$?

You have to consider. How long have fans been around? a motor spins and moves air not exactaly breaking edge technology. I have two offbrand and they do great. keep my car cooler than stock did.

i drive my car allot and i do not want a fan to break on me and then i have to tow the car or keep pulling over to let it cool, because i decided to cheap out

internal combustion chamber motors has been around for a long time too, but some motors seem to be much better then others, but they all use the same concept

Granted & good point, but theres one problem. Not all manufactures hold the same quality standards. So yes, basic fan design is the same but its the motors used on the fans themselves that will determine the fans reliability.

How bout some people start posting up the following info so we can kinda get a sense of real world results here.

A) What brand fan
B) What size & cfm rating
C) How long has the fan been installed
D) How often is the car driven (weekend car or daily driver)
E) What fans have people had fail fairly quickly in the past

I run 2 12" Zirgo fans. Bought them off ebay really cheap, and thats what they are cheap. They won't keep my car cool for ****. I have to get new fans for this summer.

Whwn it comes to buying fans the first mistake most people make is they look at the price and then look at the CFM rating on the fan. Anyone can tell you the fan flows this much air but most of them fall on their face when you put them behind a radiator. I have used SPAL fans for years and never had any issues with them. The are a quality company and the parts are made in Italy, not in china like these other companies mentioned. They are a little more exspensive but you get what you pay for. Check out thier web site www.spalusa.com.
