Well I'm very close to putting my ca in but I kind of ran out of cash. The question is I have two electric fans laying around from an s14 one 12" and 10". Will they be enough to keep things cool. I also have an upgraded radiator.

the 12" should be fine. If you really want to be awesome, you could rig the 10" up to push, and the 12" fan to pull. You'll be fine either way though. I run a single 14" on the stock radiator and I never see any overheating problems down here.

By the way, I'm just right down the road here in Auburn.

any fan will work basically. i used the stock A/C fan to cool mine down last year before it was on the road and it never overheated..i also run a 14" single fan and it cools very nice, but i rarely use it because the radiator i have works so good.

I used to run a Koyo R1276 and rarely ran my fan (single 3000CFM 16" puller). Now, I run a stock radiator and two 12" Mishimito pullers. They turn on mostly when the car is off (thermostatic switch).
