what fans would work best?
hey guys, got my monte back last week from my performance shop, my mechanic says i should get smaller fans with the same if not more power for the radiator. i had him fabricate mounts to fit the oversized rad from zzp. the stock fans are literally 1/4inch away from my headers, which i think is ok but id rather have more clearance and more fan power to cool the car down. any recommendations?

On the ZZP website under the reviews, one person says a pair of these

If you're concerned about the proximity of the fan motors to the headers, you could wrap the headers or build a small heat shield for the motors like some cars have stock: http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...gGR8ug2Bwg.jpg I just think there are cheaper solutions for the problem than spending $300 on new fans + time wiring and mounting them- especially if you don't currently have an issue keeping the engine at temp. |
i agree, if your not having cooling issues there is no need to worry. i have a stock rad and stock fans in turbo monte with no cooling issues at all.

Bumpin96 that pic you have with the little heat shields I actually have those didn't know what those were
