Default fan for Ruf oil cooler

I have removed my a/c, I have a Ruf oil cooler and was thinking about using the a/c fan to run in conjuction with the stock oil cooler fan. Has anyone done this?

like this?

only w/o the a/c condenser in place.

Ruf/Cargraphic/GT2 etc all have 2 options
1) for cars w/ ac
2) for cars w/o the w/o option doesn't require the wider mount or fan but you could use the fan if you really wanted too

Its not really necessary to run both fans as when lots of heat is generated you are generally moving quite fast and a lot of air is flowing thru the coolers. At speed both fans and the ac/ condenser are just impediments to air flow.

no, because I kept ac, if I removed the ac I'd likely remove the fan too

Why do you want to install the fan? Doesn't seem to me like it'll do you any good since once you're at speed, there's plenty of airflow.

Default The is great when you are sitting on the grid..

waiting to go out on the track. roll up the windows and let it blast.

Don't forget to roll down the windows on the way out, and don't forget to turn off the air. Don't ask me how I know this. I got the windows down, but forgot to turn off the air....the scary part, the performance of the car with the air on was just as good with the air off...hmmmmm.

I am in the process of this upgrade now. Theres not much room in there but I was able to get a stock cooler in and keep both the air and the fan.
