hey guys... just been looking at replacing my clutch fan because after doing my radiator upgrade.. i can no longer fit my fan shrowed.. bummerr ay..

i had some EL ones... actually i still have them if you want some to fit up.

the problem is the r32 p/s line that sticks forward of the pump.. it hits hard up against the fan body.. pushing the fan into the radiator..

i got away with it by only using one fan until i modified the line.. which was as simple as undoing it and turning it around a little bit.

i had no real dramas with cooling either.. i cut the shroud up and it fit the r32 radiator perfectly..

pm me if you want the fans.. $30 and $15 postage eh?? good condition, with a bit of shroud modification.

Sure you can't trim the shroud to get by?

I know some people have shaved it well enough to get by without issue.

As for the fans - the thicker edge/plated onces in theory would have higher static pressure to push more air.

But totally depends on the CFM rating of the fan @ what RPM... so really impossible to say just via pictures
