Default Oem replacement fans ? Slim fans ?

Ive searched for about a half hour and didnt come up with much at all .

Has any one come out with a SLIM fan set up that drops in ? OEM replacement ?

I know Spal and Flex-o-lite have slim fans . But I havent found a direct replacement .

Hey Booger,

I'm interested in this also, seeing that I plan to upgrade to the PWR Radiator that SGP is now selling. If you can't find a direct OEM replacement I'm sure you can measure the radiator and find a universal SPAL fan to use. There are universal mounting straps, sort of like zip ties, that you can use for mounting. I've used them Before on my civic and bought them from Pep Boys. You would just have to do some custom wiring.

I am hopefully going to be working with SFR on a custom kit, or a Greddy Kit.

Let me know what you come up with on the fan replacement, I'm very interested in upgrading as well.

I'm still using the OEM fan with my APS TT and Koyo radiator. It's a tight fit, but it fits (I have a 04 6mt G35)

Im going to be installing a cog pulley set up off of DSport mag;s G35 . I may need more room because I have a AT5 and the radiator is thicker [ I think ]

Booger, your buddy NinjaZ is running Flex-O-Lite fans with his HKS rotrex unless he has changed this since we had our falling out after ZDayZ!! Not sure how applicable this would be to you though with the Vortech.

I had called Flex-a-lite in the past about a direct replacement and they said at the time they were looking into it but needed more interest. Maybe something has changed...

Yeah I called them back and never got an answer and then I stopped and asked a rep at SEMA and he had no idea what I was talking about so I gave up hope.
