Cooling fan on ally rads

Post by Drunkn Munky » Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:18 pm

Anyone fitted the standard RVF fan to the ally race rads? or even a aftermarket 12v fan, would it need to pull air from the rad or push air into it?

I think you'll find that most of the fans tend to 'suck' air through the radiator.

I think this is becuase if your going slow and its hot.. pushing air through the rad will be even harder with the slight force of the wind already coming through the radiator.
