    Just wondering what a good upgrade from stock would be. One of my fans is toast on the 4EAT, and I might as well just upgrade. Any opinions or ideas on some new ones? Or should I just stick with stock fans?

    I saw the Mishimoto radiator/fan shroud, but didn't really find any other options in my limited search.

    I have a koyo radiator...

    Thanks,
    - Justin K.

    I would just run stock fans. In my experience all the aftermarket fans I have installed on other cars don't get the job done. Especially if you haven't had a cooling problem with the stock fans except for them failing.

    Well im running some FAL slim fans on my car and i must say that when they turn on and ive got my hood open, you can feel the huge amounts of air they're moving. Im very happy with them!

    Hey DIPP are your FAL fans two separate unites or are they both in one big housing. If they are in one housing those sound like the same ones i have. Let me know if you have any questions on wiring them up.

    Don't do what I did and run both on one factory relay. The relay will cook itself eventually, and then the same thing will happen to the plug.
