Add-on Fans for Oil and Trans Coolers?

[TurboDiverArt]

Hi All,

Here's a simple question. Anyone know where to get small add on fans for oil and transmission coolers? Since upgrading my radiator fan to a CAS unit it now only catches a portion of the transmission cooler. I'm thinking of adding a small 5" or so push fan to the transmission cooler. My thinking is that the added flow won't hurt the radiator cooling either.

I recently installed an oil cooler as well. The position of the oil cooler it horizontal under my intercooler (it's a small front mount). I don't have enough room to fit one of those big dual function coolers with fan, besides I've already got 2 separate ones. The oil cooler fan would need to be a pull fan vs. a push fan. Some of the write up's seem to differentiate between push and pull so I assume there might be a difference vs. just reversing the polarity. I was thinking of stopping by Radio Shack and seeing what they had for 12 volt fans but thought I'd ask you guys first. I'm not too worried about water as I don't take the car to the track if there is a hint of rain.

Thanks,

Surf oil cooler electric fans and you'll find a bunch of mfgrs. Perma-Cool has a nice fan FAQ. How small these come and how adaptable they are to your specifics - you'll need to find out.

I have Setrab stacked plate tranny coolers on my GN and T. They are pricey, but the bes you can buy. SETRAB makes some really nice cooling packs (i.e. cooler plus fan).

Good luck...

SPAL makes real good quality small fans in push or pull configs. Pricey, but you usually get what you pay for.

Thanks for the info. I love my SPAL fan from CAS. They seem to flow quite a bit for little fans. I think my decision is made and one of my winter projects now scheduled!

Thanks,
