Having trouble finding.....

A small radiator fan, I have seen a few out there but I have only seen universal fan kits. Is the any small radiator fans out there strictly for the evo?? Also do the smaller fans work better or no?? I hoping to find one to replace the on that almost touches the stock ICP black hose.

Is it the stationary fan shroud almost touching the IC hose? Or do the rotating fan blades almost touch it? To answer your question, there are slimline fan kits for the Evo available from the vendors. Do you have the stock radiator?

I took a dremel and trimmed the edges off the fan blades. Or just get a universal fan. Both are simple to do.

Kinda both, I also just have heard it makes it easier to work on things with a slim fan. And yes I do have a stock radiator, would you recommend any vendors??

There's no such thing as a radiator fan strictly for an evo, besides the stock one. You really can't find a small enough fan? Call ETS. I got a koyo radiator from them with slimfan, it's like 10", smallest I've seen/used. Works great.

I did the same heres a pic for ya.... Just bought a 12" slim fan off of ebay for like 20 or 30 bucks, used the dremel and made it work. I had to dremel around the turbo housing as well so it wasn't touching.
