Description
The Mishimoto MMFAN-12RD is a 12-inch universal electric cooling fan engineered as a direct upgrade to a tired or underperforming OEM fan, or as a solution when aftermarket radiators create fitment headaches. Its slim, compact profile lets it mount flush against a radiator core, and its straight red plastic blades are backed by an included ABS shroud for a clean, finished install. With a rated output of 1150 CFM, this Mishimoto fan is built to move serious air without hogging engine bay real estate.
Beyond raw airflow, this Mishimoto cooling fan is designed for flexibility. It’s easily reversible, so it can function as either a puller or a pusher fan depending on your cooling setup, though Mishimoto notes that reversing polarity and physically flipping the blades to run it as a pusher may limit performance versus its original puller-optimized design. The fan runs on 12-volt power, connects via a female snap-plug terminal, and includes its own electric motor, making it a straightforward, self-contained cooling upgrade for anyone building out a custom cooling system, swapping a radiator, or simply replacing a worn factory fan. Mishimoto backs this MMFAN-12RD fan with its Lifetime Warranty.
Vehicle Applications
The MMFAN-12RD is a universal-fit electric cooling fan, meaning it isn’t tied to a single make or model and can be installed on a wide range of vehicle cooling systems where a compact 12-inch puller fan is needed. Because it ships without mounting hardware, Mishimoto recommends pairing it with the Mishimoto universal fan mount kit (P/N: MMFAN-MOUNT) to simplify installation against nearly any radiator. Mishimoto also advises using a fan shroud for optimal operation, and this fan includes one made from ABS plastic.
