I use Spal fans (blower type) from Fereday cars with my golpher and a Gt3071r-Wg turbo that is clocked.

Ok before you all start I don't actually use any of it but it is fitted to the car!

think it would be a tight fit as i still got all the gearbox cooler a 13row engine oil cooler and still have the stock bonnet catch and power steering cooling all in the stock place.

No idea m8 - TBH I would go with a trusted manufacturer for something like that that if they failed could cause £££ of damage to your engine & turbo.

WRt room I suspect you would be fine as the St185 has 1 off fan on the front anyway.

I would go for the SPAL fans as they have a very good reputation and they are also available in slimline configuration.

Spal!

I use two between my OEM radiator and ICradiator. Every cooler in the OEM position added external engineoilooler. These are only 5[cm] thick.
Fit like a glove. :D

Sorry for the bad quality.

You can find them at really good price on twosRus
they do a twin 11" pusher spal bundle for $140 + shipping

http://www.twosrus.com/catalog/product_ ... ucts_id=96

I know about tax and shipping cost but if your £101 is for 1 at twosrus it's ~£90 for 2 ;)

I think there is plenty of discount to be had. As a rough figure I bought 2 fans and seem to remember it was £115-£130 ish inc VAT & delivery.

Give them a call and ask :-)
