bigger fans. then again...winter is coming back around and it gets pretty cold inland at night but still gets pretty warm during the day...I'd probably get a 12" fan for the primary fan.

probably if it were pulling air in would be better but even then, i'd recommend running a real fan vs that little aux fan.

are u talking about the s13 or s14 electric a/c fan? I'm using the s14 low/high speed fan on my s13 sr20det but i have a koyo aluminum radiator and have had no problems so far in nyc summer or here in florida. It works through my blitz lm fmic and the a/c condensor then the radiator and keeps the car cool. But i will definately be upgrading to either the stock clutch fan or altima fans since i'm putting on a bigger turbo soon.

I've got two 12" electric fans with a koyo alum. radiator. Never comes close to overheating in FL and the temp drops dramatically when cruising. Use the stock clutch fan versus the a/c condensor fan... if you're not going electric.
