i would go buy some slim electric fans, hondamarketplace has some cheap ones there.

Agreed, you can get a 12" slim fan that flows 3x the stock fan for like $60 shipped at hondamarketplace.com

hmm ill check it out.

i used my stock fans for a while. it was a tight fit.
although i did get the fans from the guy in this thread http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=936861.
i got 2 10" and made some brackets for them. i did not want to poke anything through my radiator core.

do you have better pictures of the hardware you used? i look at your car domian pics.

cifer6425 · 02-08-2006, 06:59 PM

naw... i just found some metal, cut it, shaped it, drilled it and mounted it. i guess i could take one off and take a bigger
picture.

the brackets i made. the bolts and nuts i got from the local mega mart in the hardware dept.

i think we could have done a better job IF we had more time, were not so tired, and not drinking.

not all the brackets are the same size (length). that is something would have like to worked on.

let me know how the bottom of the radiator fits in the car. i only used one bottom braket for the fans. also i took out the bottom rubber radiator mounts. i am curious if anyone else did too. do not worry i used some thick rubber tape to pad the radiator where it would be touching.

IALuder · 02-09-2006, 12:06 PM

hmm, ill see what i can do.

cifer6425 · 02-09-2006, 09:06 PM

if you want i can take a night and make you some. what i would do is make them a little more adjustable. mine just have one hole (unless i messed up

). what i could do with yours is drill more holes or an oval into them.
LMK.

IALuder · 02-09-2006, 10:06 PM

if could that would be sweet. lmk how much.

rayslude · 02-10-2006, 05:38 AM

the fan from HT comes with the brackets, i'd check to see if it's the bolt on type before you go through the trouble to have someone make you some

cifer6425 · 02-10-2006, 07:48 PM

the mounting style i got from the guy on HT was through the core. like a plasitc zipper/zip tie thingy. i ordered the 10" fans.

IALude - find out first what kind of mounting hardware you are getting. i dont care to help you out, but...

SPAL fans are thin, strong fans for tight spots.
My alum. radiator from C&R Racing came with a single SPAL fan that pulls more air than the two stock fans combined. I'm sure you could get them seperately, but others are probably comparable and a little cheaper.
