i was wondering if i would neeed to get slim fans if i replace the oem with the moshimoto radiator. if so what size would u guys recommend and would i need 2 or just 1?

thanks

the stock fans fit!!! the only issue you may have is if you are turbo.

 

mishimoto has slim fans to go with the radiator .. get 2

 

ops forgot to add they have differnet sizes, i think 10" and 12". i am turbo also. any turbo guys out there have this radiator and fans? if so what u guys use?

thanks

12 inch recommended

 

I am Turbo...mishimoto installed....one 12 inch fan = good to go.

 

I'm turbo'ed as well with Mishi Rad.

I cut the OEM Fan Bracket in half and kept the passenger side as is since it has a heat shield (close to turbo header) and I liked the idea of the shroud. On the driver side I used a 12" Mishi Slim fan. I have two Mishi 12"s but the plastic looked a little week so I only mounted one because I didn't want it to possibly melt.

Two 12"s fit fine though but you will need their Fan Mounting Kit $14

J~

 

rythmn u said 1 12 would be good? hmm.. id rather go 2 though to be on the real good side.. nothing is as important as cooling to me.

 

how long have u been running the radiator with 1 fan rythm? any problems?

 

Here lets put it this way.....I've had the single 12 inch fan on the stock radiator. It ran like that from day one of being boosted (which is going on 2 1/2 years now, I loose track of how long I've been boosted), never had an over heating problem or anything of that nature even with the stock radiator. The single 12 inch fan pumps out more CFM's than most turbos on our cars do...lol. So.....12 inch + Better than Stock Radiator = Good to go.

 

hm sounds good lol

 

thanks rythm appreciate it

 

^^No problem. If I have experience it, I'll be glad to share that info.

 

Look at you man, still modding the tC! Congrats. Looking to buy my EVO yet?

 

damn the tC first now u going to get rid of the evo haha. are uever going to stay with one car for atleast more then 1 year LOL. wish i had money for and evo , but getting married and starting a family so evo not on top priority or is it muahahaha

 

And still going...

Evo's....see those all the time here.

 

i got mishimoto rad and two slim puller fans, one 12" and one 8".. dont set your mind on mish fans itself, there are tons of fans that have more cfms than mish fans.. my 8" slim fan is rated to 2,500 cfm.. the radiator though is awesome.

I used to have a lil cooling issue that was fixed by the mishrad, using the oem fans should be enough

but check out summitracing.com for their awesome fans

 

^^Yeah, you don't have to get the Mishi fan. Any 12 inch pretty much will do.

 

There still aren't THAT many EVO X's sold in the states yet, I think its about 2000 sold so far...

I actually had my tC for 13 months thank you, I have only had the EVO for about half that...

 

^^And you trying to get rid of it?
