Default Any turbo folks running a trackspeed radiator?

Curious what fan you are running?

I pretty much have a nightmare setup from a cooling/packaging standpoint: turbo, a/c + ps, still running the OE water neck, in a mostly street driven car. The TSE rad is pretty damn girthy, and I fear space will be at a huge premium.

I run a spal14 inch fan. I don't have forced induction yet and I am running without a reroute. I did keep ac.

One large spal or derale fan mounted directly to the radiator, no shroud. Worked great.

Any picture of how it looks from a directly top point of view? I'm in the same situation except i deleted the water neck.

No longer in the car, would have to dig pretty deep and see if I have an old photo. My TSE rad got toasted in a crash in 2014 and I replaced it with a supermiata crossflow.

Pretty straightforward though. Take chonky single fan, install on back of radiator wherever it fits.

I have a 12" and a 10" slim fan. More along the lines if I can fit both of them or just a single one. Should I order more intercooler piping to reroute it (shipping takes forever due to pandemic) and coolant reroute hose positioning.

I need to be spoon fed because I don't understand electricity at all. What's the largest Spal I can get away with without having to upgrade my alternator/wiring/fuses?


Calvin: If you're running a TSE radiator, it only has mounting points for one fan.
