Just received my CBRD radiator and it looks amazing! I haven't pulled my stock rad out yet to see where the fan wires attach, I assume its a plug... does anyone who has installed a CBRD unit have some pics or can tell me where to run the black and blue wires for the slim fan? Also, I assume the black is negative and blue is positive, correct? Just want to know ahead of time before I begin working on it today incase it takes longer than expected- Any help is appreciated, thanks!

 

I was thinking about buying that too but I talked to CBRD and the fan just attaches with zip ties. Instead of doing that I'm custom making a bracket that mounts to the factory locations with aluminum bar stock. I'm heliarcing it together and painting it GG to match my car. I had to go with a slim fan because my ETS HTA3076R kit does not fit the stock fan.

 

^ Right on thanks... I was wondering more about the fan wires actually... anyone have a pic of where those plug in?

 

It's super easy. Blue - blue and black - black. The slimfan wires are the same as the wires for your fan controller. It's idiot proof.

 

I'll post pics of my install when i get my bracket completed. It should weigh a hell of alot less than stock too.

 

Cool thanks guys- in the mean time I took my old radiator out and dropped the new one in, just hooking it up- yeah, its easier looking than I thought, looks like the blue and black wires slide right onto where the stockers were plugged in, which I didn't realized were also blue and black (I was expecting black and red for some reason) I tried sliding the new wires onto those metal things, but it was resisting a bit- remembered I started this thread and wanted to double check thats what I am supposed to do with them- going to go finish up now

 

well when i did my slim fan for the AC, i put blue on blue and black on black and it PULLED..

do you want the Fan to be pushing or pulling??

i reversed the wires to make it PUSH to cool instead of PULLING in the hot air??

 

I think the fan is supposed to bring air from the outside of the engine bay to the inside... this is "pulling" right?

 

U want the fan on the rad to pull.... On the to push!!
