Howdy,
My turbo sits too far foward in my engine bay to have the fans on the inside pulling air through the radiator. Is there any reason i can't put the fans on the outside of the radiator to push air through it?

thanks so much for any comments.

 

i have another solution. i have a couple thin fans for sale that should give you extra clearance and better performance. both for $60 lmk

 

these are fal fans.

 

g/l

 

what does that mean? are they bad? should i use something else? just looking for advice. I dont mind buying something different if I have the wrong setup. The radiator is a fluidyne and the fans are FLX-225R. It seems like a decent setup.

 

i think he meant good luck... but i wouldnt advise switching your fans around... they are meant to pull the cold air through the radiator, i dont think they would have enough pushing power to cool the engine if you swapped the around... best thing to do, is just try it. if it works it works if it dont work, put it back the way it came... good luck

 

+1 ^ good luck

 

When I put fans on the outside, I reverse the polarity so they push,
instead of pull. They might also run cooler away from your exhaust.

I have also re-done/offset the brackets that hold fans and radiators,
built ducting, modified the housings, as well as shifted fans slightly to
the side for clearance.
I have even wired in thinner fans from another car. So ANYTHING can be made to work. If you want someone to look at what needs to be done, with what you
have, I'm willing to. Is there clearance between the radiator front and bumper,
or is some minor modification needed?-Bob

Also.......Demoncivic's price on those fans is not bad, if they will work.
