520WHP Street Use Capable. Heat soak is a problem of the past.
The Only Fan you need & that we highly recommend
From our own testing, we have found that all other fans simply do not have enough power/static pressure and air flow/CFM to transport air through the commonly used aftermarket 4" thick side mount intercooler cores. If one places their hand on opposite side of core with fans blowing, one would feel barely if any air moving past the fins, hence why side mount intercoolers heatsoak.
That is until, we found this monster of a fan, which is almost as big as the intercooler core itself. We've never felt more cool air being rushed past the thick intercooler core fins by such brute force. The difference is night and day. Heat soak is now a problem of the past.
Based off of our testing, we doubt natural air flow from MR2 being in motion is able to penetrate effectively either - especially considering how air would have to bend 90 degrees TWICE before it can even reach the core - At that point, your air speed has already dropped off. However, with the help of this behemoth monster of a fan forcing air through the whole core with pure brute power, air can finally penetrate the core in great amounts.
One of our customers is currently tuned and pushing 500+whp on our side mounted intercooler kit with this fan on E85 and 460whp on 91 octane comfortably on the streets. 2.2L 5SGTE stroker, GTX3071R and our CF intercooler pipes. His intake air temperature at 460whp 91 octane was around 100-105F (Very good numbers). His tuner (Peter @ Snap Motorsports in Sacramento) did say that any more HP past 500, that it would start becoming an issue. That same core we're talking about is known to be good up to 350-380hp on weaker fans and that is already considered pushing it at around 135-150F.
This fan requires the use of dedicated wiring harness to properly power it. Stock wiring/relay system will not be adequate. SPAL truly makes the best fans money can buy and we highly recommend it.
-
SPAL branded fans are used on NASCAR, modern supercars, as well as many other high end automotive racing organizations/manufactures. Their motors are fully sealed, dust proof and water proof. Individually balanced for long life and high performance.
-
Our default 9" fan is not a slacker and is also commonly used. it features the same high efficiency straight blade 9" fan design for maximum air flow just like SPAL. Just doesn't move as much air unfortunately
Notes
- We sell authentic SPAL units only
- These only work with our 1991-1998 Toyota MR2 Aftermarket side mount intercooler fan shroud setups. See here
- This listing is just for 1x 9" Spal fan, and an optional dedicated wiring relay harness kit, which is required.
- This fan draws up to around 9-10.5 amps @ 14.4 volts (we tested)

If an item is In Stock, it is ready to ship and will be packaged and sent out as quickly as possible.
Because many of our products are produced in limited quantities, popular items can sell out between production runs. With production and manufacturing lead times often ranging from 1-3+ months, unexpected demand can quickly deplete available and planned inventory, and waiting for future production runs may mean missing one—or even multiple—batches and facing a significant delay.
Pre-Orders help us accurately gauge demand and plan production quantities while allowing customers to secure their spot & receive their parts in a timely manner. This helps reduce delays and the chances of products selling out unexpectedly, while ensuring we can continue bringing more specialized products to the community.
Not all pre-orders are the same. Depending on the product, a pre-order may be for an existing product that is temporarily sold out or a new product that is still in development.
The product page will provide the most current estimated fulfillment timeline and any relevant project details.
Restock Pre-Orders — Existing Products
Many of our products are produced in limited quantities, and popular items can sell out between production runs.
If an existing product is sold out, we may open a pre-order for the next production batch. These products have already been developed and produced previously, but additional manufacturing time is required before the next batch is ready.
Pre-ordering secures your place in the next production run and ensures you don’t miss the next available batch.
Development Pre-Orders — New Products
Some pre-orders are for completely new products that are still being developed.
Developing a new product is a significant process. Depending on the complexity of the project, it may involve:
- Product design and engineering
- Prototyping and testing
- Tooling and mold development
- Fitment and quality/mold revisions
- Manufacturing preparation
- Final production and quality control
A single product can take 3 months to over a year to fully develop before it is ready for regular production.
During this process, prototypes, molds, fitment, or manufacturing methods may require revisions. If we identify an issue that does not meet our standards, we may need to make corrections before moving forward with production.
This can occasionally extend the estimated timeline, but we believe it is better to correct an issue before shipping rather than rush a product to customers that does not meet our standards.
We always aim to provide the best estimated timeline available at the time a pre-order is listed.
However, estimated dates are not guaranteed. Manufacturing schedules can change, and development projects may require additional time for prototyping, revisions, production, or quality control.
We do not believe in rushing production simply to meet a projected date.
Before a product ships, it must go through the appropriate manufacturing, finishing, fitment, and quality control processes to ensure it meets our standards.
If there are any significant changes to the estimated timeline, we will provide pre-order customers with updates as information becomes available.
Good products take time. We'd rather get it right than get it out fast.
Our goal is to continue supporting the MR2 community by developing new and unique products that may not otherwise exist.
Pre-orders and group buys allow us to better determine demand and commit to larger production quantities. Larger manufacturing orders can help reduce per-unit production costs, allowing us to pass a portion of those savings directly on to our customers while also helping fund the development of future products.
By participating in a pre-order, you are not only securing your product—you are also helping make new projects possible.
Depending on the project, participating in a pre-order or group buy may provide:
- Up to 20% off or more on future regular product price
- Priority access before regular inventory becomes available
- The ability to secure your place in a limited production run
- The opportunity to help bring new, community-requested products to market
Because pre-orders and group buys allow us to commit to production quantities, tooling, manufacturing, and product development, pre-order purchases are generally non-refundable once the order has been placed.
If you no longer wish to wait for your pre-order, you may have the option to convert the full amount paid into MR2 Heaven store credit, which can be applied toward MR2 Heaven-branded products.
Please note that pre-order fulfillment timelines are estimates and may change due to manufacturing, fitment, quality control, or other unforeseen development delays.
In the unlikely event that a product is ultimately unable to be produced or the project is permanently canceled, all affected pre-order customers will receive a full refund.
Thank you for supporting our projects and helping us continue to develop new products for the MR2 community.
