My OEM fans are starting to die and I figured I may as well upgrade them. Picked up a pair of SPAL 14" fans but the problem is their motors stick out too much and would rub against my engine pulleys. I am now looking at low profile fans and was wondering if anyone recommends a certain brand/type? I'm looking at flex-a-lite anyone have any experience with them?

Also, if anyone has his OEM fans out, could you measure the thickness for me please?

Any feedback would be appreciated

Cheers,
Sam

 

I did measure the OEM fans before (i forget the exact numbers) but it was smaller than SPAL 14". Hope this help .

 

Sorry maybe I wasnt clear in my post. Im looking for the thickness of the OEM fans not the diameter.

 

Sorry , i mean Spal 12" part no. 30102130 are thicker than OEM fans . I really dont know about the spal 14" fans . My bad .

 

Thanks for your help man. According to:

The 12" fan is around 4" thick. Will definitely need to go thinner!

 

Hmmm this doesn't look so bad:

Just need to compare the flow rates on that bad boy.
