hi all as above
what rad fans are you all using on 1.3 crossflow
it needs to be small
would it work with a bike rad as anybody used one
cheers

PLenty use the Bike Fan with Bike Rad's but that's not what you're asking.

I don't know anyone using a Bike Fan on a conventional Car Rad.

Not many use 1.3 Crossflow but I cant see a problem why a bike fan would not work.

The only restriction in the nose cone - even though our's is an Indy we used a Micra Fan and Rad but some use Polo's. (they're crap as a Rad/Fan but they taste nice - before some wise arse comments!!! )

Have you got a rad yet? if so what?

Iv got a polo rad and pacet 11 inch fan. Keeps my zetec temp down nicely.

Would a fan from a diesel be ok?

I have a polo rad with a fireblade fan and find it works ok.I did have 2 fans fitted but one packed up, I removed it to repair last winter and never got around to it, so ran last sumer with just the one with no problems.

We used a cross flow radiator and fiesta rad fan on 2.0 litre pinto in the mock up stage, when we come to the final build we found the rad was leaking so we had it recored and decided to upgrade to capri size core. the fan keeps it cool fine but maybe draws a bit too much current. Theres a picture in my archieve labelled final engine shot thats shows ours, but a bit large.
