well i can give you an example of my setup.. ive got a 12" and a 16" permacool pushers im going to use, attached to a thermo switch.. RB's are notorious for running hot, so im making sure mine stays cool..., you might be allright tho, i couldnt tell you for sure.

what do you guys usually run

Check on ebay for cheaper prices. Seriously man they are just fans. As long as they flow a good amount of air and don't draw too many amps, they're fine. The key is in good shrouding

yeah my rb25 runs alittle hot(200-220), I also have a Koyo and I'm not sure what fan is in there now(the shop put in a 10-12inch pusher i think...ns) but you might want to check into getting a twin fan from a altima....i've herd they're better then the twin FAL fans($200-300) and alot cheaper, I haven't installed mine yet but I picked mine up on ebay for 35 bucks..........and maybe get a cooling pannel too, you could make one or pick one up for $100.........I got a carbon fiber one for $100(haven't put it on yet)...........................here's a dirty pick that shows the fan thats in there now

what size is that

[420_240]

I'm using FAL 220's and the original s14 radiator... I just got back from a trip to indianapolis (4.5hr trip) ... stayed at a constant 65*C... stays at that same temp in traffic as well... that's about 149*F

i'm running dual 12" permacool pushers. I dont have a real temp gauge, but the stock gauge never moves above the mid mark. also, an oil cooler might be good insurance as well. i've got one waiting for the next oil change to install

[zephyro90]

is your fan automatically on and off itself? where do you attach the wirings?

[matt_calgary]

just get two of those fans and bolt it on your stock rad, or if you can, upgrade to go a KOYO or myself which was cheaper at the time, get an OEM aluminum rad. I have two 12" pusher fans on my rad now with a thermostat and I've never overheated yet.

I have a copper koyo oem replacement radiator, with 2 12 inch e-fans as pullershttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

and a bottle of water wetter and havent had any cooling problems and its hot here year round.

I've got a KOYO with FAL 210's as pullers and an OEM A/C fan mounted as a pusher on the A/C condenser and I see anywhere from 75-90C on a 75 degree day. Yes, I have A/C so airflow is an issue. I've also got some holes cut into the bumper skin and upper and lower cooling panels in place. Still a bit too hot for my tastes but I honestly don't know what temp the RB25 is SUPPOSED to operate at.

I have a 20, but I used the stock rb radiator--same as the KA I think, with 2 flexilite pushers
