Largest dia pusher fan possible on S13 with stock core support?

[mello88]

What's the largest diameter pusher fan we can run? Our radiator is aprox 25" x 15". I would like to run a single 16" if possible, but from my measurements this morning the fan would hit the core support, limiting us to a 14" fan in a pusher config.

I know alot of you are using FAL or other brand dual 12" fans... Anyone successfully running a single 14 or a single 16? I don't want to modify my core support unless it's very minor modification needed.

I don't have a s13 but I run a single 14in and it fits right in between the rad end tanks. Can't go larger. When I installed a aftermarket rad it sat slighty higher and I had to nudge the seam a little

Thanks for the reply. What brand/model 14" do you run? How well does it cool?

In a puller config., a 16" seems like it would fit okay, just overhang between the tension rod brackets a little. But as a pusher the core support is in the way so that's not an option at all..

I'm thinking of the Zirgo ZFU14S which should fit almost perfectly.

i have a dual 10 inch pusher set up, both are zirgo fans, and i am going to switch to a 10 and a 14 inch this week/next week just because i am afraid this summer it might overheat and i dont want to take any chances

How do you like your Zirgo fans? Would you consider them noisy and/or unbalanced/vibrations? Do you run both 10s all the time or are they on a thermostat/controller?

Any other feedback on 14s, 16s or Zirgo is appreciated

the zirgo fans come in 2 differnt styles, 1 is s blades and one is striaght blades, the s blades are quieter and i run the straight blades and they are not to loud and dont vibrate alot, i can try to take a video of them on tonight and try to post it up but idk how good my camera is going to do.
