I have had two cheap ebay ones (yes i know should have learned after the first one), I used them on my supercharged mx5 and they worked really well
and kept the engine cool even when using the car on drift days and autosolos (lots of high engine revs and not much forward motion for airflow through
the rad). But they do not stand up to rain ingress both have failed due the springs that push the carbon brushes out rusting and collapsing. I wont be
buying a third one, maybe okay if its a dry use only car but no good if its an everyday.

One alternative might be to consider fitting two smaller fans. We fitted two Aprilia RSV fans to our Phoenix. Made by SPAL and cost £18 for the
two.

well just look at spal performance figures
a 6" fan flows 300 cfm at 6.5 amps each ( need 2 )
and a 11" depending on which one flows 800 to 1000 cfm at approx. 8.5 amps
so due to limited ampage of bike alternator it looks like its a 11" fan which will fit rather than a 10"
so gents its just a case of which make .I am tempted by the tripac one it uses a Panasonic fan motor and I know they are good
any one got a tripac fan ? any feed back
