Slimeline fan advice

[Courtnova16v]

I was thinking of buying a spal front mounted blower fan but don't know what size to go for? I've got a C20XE and will be using a Nova GTE radiator. Any ideas?

Measure your rad from top to bottom, and roll with that.

I have an 11inch sucker, engine side.

I think Simps used to run 2x 6inchers blowers on his Nova LET

I will go get that done in abit. Am I right in thinking the original nova fan is a blower fan?

2 x 9 inch is a good bet IIRC.
Orginal is sucker (it works with the air flow when moving forward)
IF you want to move it to the front, you'l want a blower

Thanks both for your help.

I wish they were called Slimelines!

When i bought myne, i went for twin 8" kenlowes set up on the front of the rad, went kenlowe as they were slimmer than all the other fans i looked at.

Get a air con fan from a scrappy, fits on a nova rad a treat and is powerful. Mine cost a tenner

You wont need anything more for a xe....

I beileve i told you that..lol
They will cool the rad temp down from half to a quarter in about 10sec.
They are made by kenlow and are very slim. and you can run it either side of the rad.

Do you have a picture so I know what I'm looking for? Do I need to get one of a vauxhall? Or will any other car do? Do you know where I can buy them new? Thanks.

Pass on getting them from other cars. and its a mk4 astra ac fan (mounted on the front of the ac rad)
Best pic i have off hand.(it has the outer casing removed.
