Lightbulb My radiator fan went.....

hello, my radiator fan on the passenger side has just broke. it chipped off and started scraping against the housing.
i need a replacement fan possibly a racing fan since my engine is built.
which fan would you recommend as a replacement? also, whatever choice i end up with, would i be replacing my driver side fan as well?

how hard is it to replace the passenger side fan? how does the connectors for the cables work for the aftermarket fans?

i will also be going with a yoshimoto radiator as well.
any suggestions/ ideas would be appreciated.

I only have one fan and its on the drivers side. Has your fan been upgraded in the past? Personally I would just buy a used one off this site and save money

Just installed, got a SPAL 1200 cfm off ebat for around 75.00, its thinner and wired directly to the stock controller---simple slick and easy--make sure its flowing the rt direction, ie pusher/puller fan--if you mount it in the engine bay get the puller and make sure its wired to pull..

I'm going to bring this old topic back, because it happened to me last Saturday. My passenger side radiator fan blade chipped off about 2cm on one them. The rest of the blades are all scraped from something that I don't know yet, it was making a loud grinding sound. Got home and noticed the fan is trying to spin but stuck onto something. The other fan is fine. Has anyone else experience this? Waiting until Friday to take off front bumper to get the fan, hopefully its not too bad.
