been gettin some crazy hot days so early in the year. figured i've been wanting to make some space in my engine bay, and needed some better cooling.. so yes. electric fans. everyone talk about perma cool and flexalite. looked at both, and i really liked this one.

figure it should be enough cfm's for my current set-up. also the red will go with the car, and it looks a lil different. anyways. they're 12" duals. people say it's a tight fit... how tight exactly.. am i gonna be prying apart my radiator, or should i cancel this and order the tens?? anyways any advice on installation, or anything really on this upcoming "project" is greatly appreciated... thanks again guys. later

That fan is a LOT nicer than the one u posted. It's smaller, so lighter weight. . race spec JDM fan.

what the hell... that thing looks the size of my hand.. :p

the idea is to cover as much of the radiator as you can, well especially the driver side which can sometimes get warmer, how would this be better... im confused. isn't this too small.. what's the cfm output on that lil guy.. wow. 40mm.. hmmm

considering those fans are for cooling of a HARD DRIVE and not a 240sx... probably blows bout 5 to 9 cfm. lol... yeah... that's some jdm race spec alrite.:D

actually the fan/heatsink above is for cooling pentium2/pent3 slot 1 processors. you could use it to cool the eprom on your ecu, but i doubt it gets very hot. im going to look for an oem type electric fan for my radiator, wrecking yards are the sh1t
