Spal 30101504 12 Inch Straight Blade Low Profile Cooling Fan - Perfect for Automotive, Marine, and Industrial Applications

I bought 2 of these fans to replace the OEM radiator fans on my 2005 Honda Civic. With my Mishimoto radiator and OEM fans, the engine would heat up to around 210 degrees when idling in traffic with the AC on on a 100 degree day. With these fans on my radiator, the highest temp I have seen was 195 degrees when stuck in traffic. The AC seems to work a little better at idle too. Once I install the custom shroud I built, I am expecting the temp to stay under 190. These fans cool incredibly well for their thickness. But be fair, the stock fans were 14 years old and probably worn out after almost a quarter million miles.These fans are also incredibly solid. The plastic they are made out of is incredibly thick and heavy and I expect them to operate reliably for many years. These fans are also pretty slim. I wouldn’t say that they are low profile, but definitely much lower profile than my stock fans, which makes a lot more room under the hood to work. The power draw isn’t a whole lot more than stock fans either. My stock fans drew 7-8 amps, these are around 10-11.The only downside I can think of is that these fans are pretty noisy. The noise isn’t extreme, but definitely louder than stock fans. The fans can be heard running inside the car when idling and can make it a little hard to hear when ordering food at a drive through, but they can barely be heard over the blower fan inside the car and can’t be heard over the noise of my exhaust while driving. I don’t mind the noise, but if you would be bothered by being able to hear the fans run than these fans may not be for you.Overall, I am very happy with these fans and I would buy them again if I have a need to.
