Default Dual fan install

Received the twin fan setup from Ragin Racin today. Since I already have the drivetrain and engine pulled for a head job and upgrades I decided now would be the time to install the Dual Spal fan setup. This unit does not come with any kind of instructions. Pretty self explanatory but to a novice a few guidelines would be nice. Took about an hour with everything out of the way. Would definitely pull the rad if engine was still in the car. This is the before. You can see how much of the rad is not covered by the fan. At low driving speeds, air is not being pulled through this area. At higher speeds air can pass easily without any blockage.

The twin setup covers the entire surface for low speed draw through. The flaps at the top and bottom are a nice touch to let more air flow through at higher vehicle speeds. Cutting the wires from the control unit to the fans was required. I left them long incase I need to move the controller around a bit.

Wonder if it will work with a Z07 Radiator
