What is the best radiator fans?

I have a 1990 turbo2 with a 13b-rew swap. I'm using a godspeed radiator with the slim fans that coming with the rad. My car is running getting to hot. It's getting to 210 and not cooling down. I think it's the fans, I want to buy the stock FD fans. Is there any others fans that work better or the same that can bolt up to the Godspeed rad.?

The two speed Taurus fan fits the Godspeed rad quite well, that's the setup I've been running.

answer me, these questions three:
Question the First, do you have the stock undertray?
Question the Seccond, how many cfm does the fan pull and how big is it,
Question the third, did you not search before typing out this thread? there are at least 3 threads in regards to fixing cooling problems not including yours ALONE on page 1 of this forum.

also, you give us no information. 210f temps? in relation to? sitting still? going down the highway? where are you reading these temps? where is this sensor located?

I have no undertray...i have two 12" fans running 1250 cfm each.
The cars gets hot after driving for about 10-15 mins.
Also I have a autometer water temp gauge. The sensor is tapped into the t-stat housing.

SEARCH!!

are these temps seen when you are driving? when you come to a stop?

those two small fans wont pull the combined CFM of one big fan pulling a **** ton of cfm. is there a shroud on the fans?

a bigger radiator wont lower temps. as a rule, you will almost never see lower than 180 if you run the stock t-stat. it will drop the temps faster, or fast enough that the temps wont rise.

change out your waterpump. the impellor might be corroded enough to not PUMP as well as it should.

once moving, the temp should drop almost immedietly.


check your t stat. if that works, change out the pump. that should provide good results almost immedietly when you start moving the car. then if you are overheating at idle, change out your fan to a bigger fan that pulls a minimum

As soon as I start driving the temp rises and doesn't go back down. I dnt have a shroud on the fans. I really think it's the fans.

at speed the temp should lower as more air than the fans can pull is being forced through. change out the waterpump.

I have a intercooler mounted in front my radiator behind the radiator support. Is there anyway I can check if my water pump is good or bad?... The pulley is kinda worn. Should I try to tightin the belt more?
