i want to know

[pharow]

i want to put an electric fan in my car. i would like to know wht size i should use, a 14" or a 16" fan? if any one can help it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think a 16" would fit, not flush anyways... I'd prolly stick with 12" or 14"

16" fan just fits between the frame rails.

I believe mine is a 14" and it fits perfect. Covers lots of surface area on the radiator

ok thanx. was it a hard install or pretty str8 4ward?

What size fan to use is a function of the climate the car will see. Here in the south I won't use less than a 16" fan rated at less than 1800cfm. A 16"/2300cfm SPAL puller fan will fit between the radiator and the engine, though it does have to be offset towards the left side.

i think a 14 will be plenty. i live in Maryland. it gets hot, but it is not hell hot like down south. so i thnk i will be ok with tht. thanks every one!

the size of teh fan is not what you need to look for. Dont get me wrong I would not go under a 14 but you need to see what the CFM is. 16" 1400CFM Spal Slim line fan should do the trick.
