I ran this aswell, couldn't agree more!

Also agree! Like Spec says, when they run, they run for a shorter time and they are very ballsey! I have a pair of thirteen’s that you can feel running while standing at the back of the S. You get what you pay for with these!

For a fraction of the price and for fans that I believe put out near as much air, look into the Mishimoto thin fans on their fan shroud. These things move some serious air also and cost about half of what the Spal's do.

Mishi slim fans are ~900cfms and this fan is 1800cfms...that's double the power.

Can't really compare a slim fan to a full size fan.

^^I just know these Mishimoto slim fans I have on their shroud really moves some air. I can be standing beside the car with the hood up and can feel them blowing hard all the way out there. They easily push twice the amount the old stockers used to. Way more than is needed IMO.

Awesome! Ptuning installed that fan along with a koyo radiator and my temps are Always low... even on the 90+ degree day that we ran the piss outta it to test it... it didnt budge and cruising went down from what i saw...

PTuning uses a single 16" SPAL fan 2000CFM

what do you guys run? push or pull fans?

Edit: And how much CFM do the oem fans produce?

Sounds like an effective temp reducer.

Looks like they're using pulling fans. I don't think a push fan would work since the AC condenser is in front if the radiator, not to mention the intercooler.

Puller fans are more efficient. Plus, as wisdom said, you'll have an interesting time setting up a pusher fan.

No one actually knows the OEM fan CFMs. Only way to tell is to measure it -- need a little hand held wind speed meter to calculate te cfms.
