I gather you are looking for stock ones.

Otherwise 2 x SPAL 12" slim pull units would be on my shopping list.

I've basically sized the fans and taken the part numbers I wanted.
Then bought them through Repco.

You may get the ones you need via ebay though.

Sorry to hi-jack. I've been watching this thread with interest...

I'm also looking to upgrade the fans on my 53mm alloy jobby.. There shytt..

Did you just swap out the fans on the std shroud? I don't particularly like the shroud the alloy 1 comes with..

Cheers

My SPAL fans are on the Honda. But shouldn't make a difference what car it's on.
The main thing is to cover as much of the radiator face as possible.
The deeper the fan the more flow, however it's as the expense of space.
I'm running 2 x 11" skew slim pull fans on an all alloy radiator and an adjustable (80-100deg C) temp sensor. The OEM fans and shrouds were completely removed. I've spliced the new units into the OEM plugs. On a 40 deg RAC skidpan day on boost there were no issues. They pull plenty of air.

Old photo, pre-turbo.


If you want something cheaper there's always the Calibre thermofans from Supercheap. But pretty sure they are not the same sort of quality. May do the job just fine though. As you would have 2 fans the chances of both failing are pretty slim

Interesting Bob, no Shroud, I'm led to believe for more efficiency a shroud is the way to go..
Happy to be convinced though.. Upon, google, like most things, Spal seem to be pretty well copied by a number of imposters...

Again, sorry to hijack Spectre.. Are you running stock rad in yours?

Cheers
