searching for more cooling fan CFM's...
 
Has any one made a cooling fan swap that made a significant difference in temperature drop???? I have read the cooling fan mod. That's alright. But im sure there is someone who didn't like the stock set up fans and replaced them for something bigger and with a way better cooling effect. If this is true, then the wiring also was rigged different. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

This has been a long discussed subject since FD's came out. I have seen How to change factory fan speed but not much of "bigger and faster fans". Can anyone point me to the right direction or "link" for this upgrade? Thanks.:scratch:

The big reason you don't see much of this is because the factory fans are quite good.

I happen to believe in the thermoswitch mod and a higher capacity radiator. Oh, and absolutely make sure your ducting is good and leak-free.

The factory fans are very good. If you are going to upgrade them look to high-quality stuff like SPAL. Avoid FAL (FlexALight) as I have had them fail in the past in multiple applications.

Almost more important than fans in the FD is the ducting and routing. If you have a FMIC you really must pay extra attention here. Lots of cheap FMIC setups cause more issues than they solve.
