Radiator Fans

What size fans have people put on their Viento Rads ? and did they go for the super hi spec Pacet with super CFM flows ? Thinking about going up to this option to attempt standing temps. Also what do people think the wiring should look like as the Hi Spec fans have a real high draw (11 amps) x 2

Additionally thinking about shrouding the rear of the fans and ducting the blown hot air to the underside or out through the sides ? Any experiences ?

Not got to that stage yet but was thinking about Kenlowe 16 inch if it will fit

cmh 3330
amps 21

or possible a twin set up

Also planning to fit an oil cooler with a fan set to kick in when required - temp or dash switched.

I fitted a couple of these from CBS

10 inch Curved blade 795 cfm Max dims 270mm wide, 282mm x 55mm

I used 2 x 10" fans which fit perfectly on the rad. Wouldn't have thought 16" would fit as this would be taller than the rad, wasted airflow if you see what I mean.

Cheers

Probably too big. I had to modify the shroud to get mine onto the front. That's why i'm interested in peoples choice of fans.

Pacet do a slim and a high profile, 10" however, the slim moves more CFM than the chunky one.

I've got two 12" fans. I had to make special fixing bars and brackets to fit them as they are almost too big for the rad.
In hindsight I would probably have been better off with two 10" fans that have a top spec in air movement rather than the average 12" ones I have at the moment.


Cheers,
