Can I get by with one radiator fan? (DC2R)

[Jim80y]

I've just had a Koyo radiator installed, and the stock A/C fan does not clear, or it may just clear (maybe 1mm clearance). At the moment I'm just running the stock radiator fan with no A/C fan, should this be ok? The AC seems to function ok with only one fan, engine temp stays constant with A/C on.

What I'm thinking of doing is getting one SPAL fan to replace both fans as one of these push more air than the two stock fans combined, will I be fine with just one fan or do I need two for the A/C to function correctly?

the AC fan just *helps* cool the AC condenser...

with my PWR radiator, the temp driops rapidly when i turn the fans on, from 81 to 75ish within minutes whilst driving...

so you really don't need the *help* of the smallish AC fan anyways...

Black DC2 and I have been running Koyo radiators with only the 'engine' fan for quite some time and haven't had any worries.
