Spal, can pick them up from eBay, Demon Tweeks e.t.c. They do suck and blow fans in a variety of sizes.

The RPM is dependant on the design of the fan - if the manufacturer thinks that 2000rpm is suitable for their fan design then that's probably ok. The amount of air that it moves is more important, so get the same sized one as people on here have used before and you should be good to go. Think it's common to use one 12" or two of the smaller 9" ones on a Corsa.

You want to look more at the CFM rather than the fan speed, this is how much air the fan can shift
