EMPI 9-inch replacement electric fan assembly — the high-efficiency fan used in EMPI's 72-plate and 96-plate competition oil cooler kits. Reversible airflow direction, patented skewed blade design for maximum airflow with minimum noise, and 12V universal application. Use it as a direct replacement on an existing EMPI cooler kit or as a standalone universal cooling fan for radiators, intercoolers, or any 9" fan application. EMPI part #00-9296-0.

Why this fan matters in air-cooled VW cooling

External oil cooler kits on air-cooled VWs rely entirely on the fan to push air through the cooler plates — there's no ram-air effect like on a water-cooled radiator. A weak or worn-out fan means the cooler underperforms, oil temperatures climb, and engine longevity suffers. The factory cooler fans on most kits are adequate when new but lose airflow capacity as the motor bearings wear and the blade balance drifts.

This EMPI replacement fan is the same unit used in their performance competition cooler kits. The patented skewed-blade design moves more air at any given RPM than a standard straight-blade fan, while running quieter — a combination that matters in any cooling application where you're trying to maximize heat dissipation without adding noise.

Reversible airflow lets you configure it as a pusher or puller depending on your cooler installation. The 12V universal motor works in any standard automotive electrical system.

FAQ

How do I know if my existing fan is failing?
Symptoms include reduced airflow (you can feel the difference at the cooler outlet), increased noise (worn bearings make a distinctive whine), motor running hot to the touch, or visible vibration from blade imbalance. A failing fan is a slow problem that gets worse over time and eventually doesn't keep oil temperatures in check.

How do I reverse the airflow direction?
Reverse the polarity of the 12V power connections — swap positive and negative. The motor will then spin in the opposite direction, switching airflow from pusher to puller (or vice versa).

Can I use this on a non-EMPI cooler?
Yes, as long as the cooler has a 9-inch fan mounting pattern. The fan is universal in dimensions; what matters is that your specific cooler has matching mount holes or you can fabricate a bracket.

How much current does it draw?
12V automotive cooling fans of this size typically draw 5–8 amps at full speed. Make sure your wiring and any fuse/relay can handle that load.

Do I need a relay to run it?
For brief duty cycles, you can wire it directly to a switched 12V source. For long-term reliability and to protect your switch contacts, install a 30+ amp automotive relay with the fan on the load side. Most builders use a thermostat-controlled relay that turns the fan on when oil temperature exceeds a set point.

What's the lifespan?
Quality 12V cooling fans last 5–10 years of intermittent duty in air-cooled VW oil cooler service. Continuous-duty racing applications shorten that significantly.

Not a bad start
Format: Kindle
3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.
