Question on fans

Hey, does anyone know the process or what it takes to move the fans from the front of the fans to the back? Do I need anything special? Or do I just the fans that are already on the car?

Thanks guys

The stock fans on the car are puller fans which mean they pull the air threw the radiator and if you put them on the other side they will not work as well since they will work againt incomming air so it's best to get and aftermarket pusher fan to install on that side of the radiator.

Well when I installed my turbo, I took out the entire fan assembly and bout a slim fan to use as a pusher... You just have to wire it the right way to make sure it pushes instead of pulls... I think 12" is about the biggest you can fit in there, I'm using a 10".

definitly recommend an aftermarket slim line style fan. and as previously posted, wiring is crucial to determine push/pull of the fan.

You going turbo?

Like others have said, slimline pusher fan and you're good to go.

do you want the AC fan to be a puller or a pusher?? i know the main fan pulls and the stock ac pulls but isnt it better to have the AC push when its on the same side as the motor?
