no room on the engine side of the of the radiator for fans. so they will be on the front side of the radiator. they will be PUSH fans. i have room for either a single 14" or dual 12" fans. if i had 2 12" fans they edges of the fan will hang over the sides of the end tanks. that would you suggest to get the most cfm and best coling?

this is not my rad and is only for display purposes



thanks

I have dual 12s but Im in Alaska. Avg temp in the summer here is about 65-70.

im in pennsylvania. so summer temps get up to around 80-90. usually more in the 80's though. how much cfm do your fans make?

1600 cfm each supposedly.

A single 16" fan won't fit?

i would have to do some cutting and it would hang off the bottom of the radiator about 1"

when you do pusher fans do you shroud it like on pullers? i dont really see why a small overhang would be a bad thing.. but then again i dont really know..

I doubt a single 14 will do it. You should be over 3000 cfm IMO. I am now running a 16" pusher and 12" puller.

the 12" deraile fans are 2200 cfm each. There also around $125 each at summit

I would run dual 12s if it were me.Also you would still have one fan if one was to go out on you.

would you care to give me a part number for 12" push fans that flow 2200 cfm each?

I would do dual 12 fans, but make sure they have shrouds. That is key. Try to cover up as much of the radiator as possible.

Another thing to consider when purchasing fans is the amp draw, some fans require a large amount of amps, then times two.....This will take a toll on your electrical system unless you have a high powered alternator...

As someone posted high power fans draw big amps. These draw 23 amps EACH.

i have the same derales as posted above. had to do some rewiring to get them off the stock wiring but other than that they work great

I realy like that shroud!

So isn't no shroud better on a pusher setup?

i was thinking the same thing

also if i would run those fans with the 23 amp draw each, can i run these with a stock alternator?

from summit site you posted

They're designed to pull air through a radiator only, not push it.
