Will fan fit in a "push" configuration? (In front of rad)

I haven't accurately measured yet but I think I can fit a 10" or maybe an 11" push fan in front. The problem with the smaller sized fans is the substantially reduced air flow rating.

However, what I was thinking about doing was using both a smaller push fan as well as triggering the relay to turn on the large OEM push fan that normally only comes on with the A/C. At least I think it only comes on with the A/C...

Nope. Not yet. I've got to drop work on the project for a week while I go out of town. I hope to have stuff finshed up and off to have the downpipe fitted to the rest of my exhaust by the end of next weekend. I'll have a fresh series of pics once it's all together.

from my understanding they fit, tuned, and tested with an evo MR Todd said the only thing I would have to "make" fit is the stock air box somehow. The fans should be fine.

Ta-da! A couple loose ends here and there. Tuning on Sunday. Hopefully I'll have my Forge RS valve by then.

Congrats on the project. The full-race manifold looks awesome, but it looks from the picture like a tight fit.

Can't wait to see what she puts down. If you don't mind, please share the dyno charts, as I would like to see how this thing spools up from 2500rpms & up.

Wow man, that is looking sweet! Once you get everything in you need some numbers and videos! Good luck with the rest of the install!

Baby steps man, baby steps... Jeebus, I'm just getting done rebuilding the motor, transmission (TRE spec), installing a Quaife *and* the turbo kit. My wallet is feeling a little light at the moment.

Seriously, the next pieces on the "development roadmap" are the ignition, water injection and a beefier fuel system. I gotta get the thing tuned and then I'll sort out any weak spots.

Yep, it's a tight fit but it does fit. It required very little adjustment. No more than your average TBE install.

I'll be posting dyno sheets and spool up logs. Even on a hacked together map I loaded so I could shake it down and put some fresh gas in it, the spool looks pretty good. The extra displacement really helps with the around town driving. Plus the ported compressor cover I've got seems to completely eliminate any surging I thought I might have. I'll have a better feel after this weekend.
