My Fal Slim Fan came in today, now I am just waiting on my Mishimoto radiator and hoses to get here. I hope to have them by the weekend.

very nice looks pretty similar to the volvo (rare item) electric fan in the early 90's but less plastic to protect you from chopping your finers off lol

I saw this on HT. Very nice. I would get the black one if I had money to spend. Just curious does anyone know the amp draw and the airflow of the stock fan?

I finally got a chance to put it in, What a pain in the a$$ that was. The fan brackets would not fit with the Mishimoto radiator. The mounting holes would not line up and there was no clearance for the hoses. After a few hours of cutting and grinding with a dremel and barrel sanding and redrilling on my drill press to get it just right I finally got everything to fit as it should. Don't mind the filthy bay as it is all being redone over the winter.

Wow... that is freakin slim O.o.... I have no clue about fans like that though.... does it run better than oem? or is it just for the fit?

You have issues because of the aftermarket radiator? Did the OEM rad fan fit that radiator perfectly?

I do think it is due to the radiator be different than OEM
