Just wondering what radiator fan combos you guys are using and what success/ failures you have experienced

[Smurfy]

I'm using the mini rad with a citroen AX motor/fan. I'm not sure how well it works yet as I haven't run the engine long enough to test it.

Thanks Surfy, I'm going to try a 3core Mini Rad and a 10" pusher fan. I toyed with the idea of putting the rad up front instead of the traditional Mini location but that would block such a nice open area above the tranny which could be used for a turbo!Mmmmmmmmm

We have thought the same thing. Need to get it on the road and see how it goes first tho :D

While we're on the subject, where did you get that perfect looking S shaped hose to the water pump?

[ed4ran]

Thats the standard hose that is normally off the other side, which runs over the gearbox and down to the bottom of the standard rad. :lol:

Hi,

I used a standard 3 core mini radiator with a 10 inch thermo fan off a Honda. The bottom hose is swift and the top is made up. I have never had problems with overheating.

I'm running a mini spares 2 core super cool radiator and kenlowe fan in the standard mini posistion.

I can report that it is working fine at the moment.

The fan cuts in after about 5mins and then switches off again after about 2-3 mins.

The standard mini gauge nearly goes through the roof though so i may need a different sender unit.

Well I bought a new 3 core mini rad and a 10inch fan ( which fits the standard mini shroud perfectly. Now have to wait till I get it running!
Thanks for the feedback guys.
