Curious to see if anyone in a warm climate state is not running a puller fan inside the engine bay? I'm having clearance issues with my 4" intake and wanted to see if this was a viable option..

Any insight?

 

I'm only running one pusher fan on the pass. side

 

Thanks for the post, anyone that has 100+ degree summer temps? :P

 

How tight is it? I am running a thin line fan, its a puller, cut out the fan from the stock shoud--so the lip around the stock fan is gone-- and dropped a thin line inside the housing and it works great , maybe 2" thick?--

 

Something like that would work fine if it is really only 2" thick. Right now my "slim" fan is 4" to the furthest point which is the motor and that is where it is going to contact the 4" intake pipe. I can't find a fan that is REALLY only 2" thick at the furthest point.. some of them claim that but aren't that slim.

PM me some info if you have it

 

Here is the deal with this, ive tested this out.

Will it work without the Fan and still be cool, YES, in traffic on a 100+ degree day, YES
Now with the AC on
Will it work without the fan and still be cool, YES, in traffic on a 95+degree day NO!!!

If you run in traffic with the AC on, you will overheat or have to turn your AC off, its been super hott in chicago the past 2 weeks, and since ive taken mine off i noticed this, put it back on and ive been fine and the AC stays cool. This only happens in traffic thou, stop and go situations, if your crusing around youll be fine in any degree day with the AC on.

Also i do not have a stock radiator, i have the all Aluminum KoyoRAD. Will this make a difference between stock, Possibly.
i Always run 190 and below on a hott day with the AC off.
Ive seen it as high as 3/4 the way up the temp gauge with the AC on, puller fan removed and in traffic. At that point i turned the AC off, and it went back down to just below half in a matter of minutes.Plus the Ac was pushing hott *** air.

 

Thank you sir. I don't drive the car in traffic other then at a stop light. Are you talking about stop and go traffic on a highway or just on side streets stop & go?

 

Im talking about stop and go on streets and highway, But the traffic in chicago is pretty epic. Just stopping at a stop light will be fine, as long as you get moving and get some air flowing thru the radiator.
its been so hott and the traffic has been bad enough that ive put my fan back on for now.
