    Aspire question

    So I was looking at the aspire I just purchased and I noticed that it has a much larger radiator with a second fan on it. My Festy never gets hot but I see this as a free upgrade and was wondering if it would be worth it too add the second fan? I think that it would be fine without it but just wanted some other oPinions.
    Thanks

    One of the FMS project cars had an Aspire radiator upgrade. You'd have to redo one bottom mount (welding) and fab another top mount to do this.

    Not sure it's necessary for most B3/B6/B8/BP swaps, but it couldn't hurt.

    Is the "second fan" you're talking about the A/C condenser fan? Is it a "pusher?"

      Maybe your seeing the a/c condenser.

      Edit: Was thinking about the auto festy radiator.

        No, the Aspire rad is much wider, so he is probably talking about that. But I see no reason to go this route, just have an auto Festy radiator.
