You are correct, and the switch has to be switched around if your running the stock switch and matching the colors. </TD></TR></TABLE>

so for example, if the wires on for the condenser plug were black and blue, youd have to wire the slim fan up by switching the wires? blue goes to black and black goes to blue???

i had something similar to this when i wired up my carquest slim fan to my rad.

when i hooked up my slim fan to my rad i put blue to blue and black to black.....

If you wanted it to spin like oem, you would go black to black, then blue to red. I would imagine the blue is the power on that circuit, I never looked but thats how we do it and I never once had an issue.

So if the fan is on the other side of the radiator or condensor, you would go red to black, black to blue.

On our slim fans there is a black, and a red wire.

oic....ya i did that. Ya because otherwise if would be mounted on the front sucking air instead of blowing if wired up the same colors together. Im wrapping everything possible hear in a week or two i let you all know how it works out.

yeah on my carquest slim fan i have a black and blue wire. i had a little overheating issue when i hooked up my slim fan as a puller. i had it wired like stock and it was blowing air out towards the front of my car and it didnt help with cooling issues, i didnt have this problem until today when the temps got up to 95-100. the last few weeks the temps were only 70-80 so i didnt have any issues with a little overheating. but anyway i got my fan wired up correctly, blue to black and black to blue, and now its pulling air towards my engine bay so im hoping this will resolve my little overheating issue......i didnt thnk it was the t-stat because sitting at a red light i could hear the fan running............anyway yeah so when i go to wire up my 10" slim fan for my ac condenser ill have it on the FRONT of the condenser as a pusher....

i dont no...those slims fans dont blow real hard. They pull seems like twice as hard. Ive got one of the 10" off here also. Im thinking about switching to the back side of condensor to pull air through. If you wire it up both ways you'll see how much harder it pulls instead of pushing. Pushings is about 50% of the normal motor strength. Might look into some more expensive slim fans that can push alot harder.

yeah my car quest slim fan for my rad is only rated at 800 cfm. i think ill be fine for now, i did think about getting a 12" 1600cfm slim fan from one of the h-t sponsors to put on my rad and then put my 800cfm 12" slim fan on my ac condenser...........i dont know yet, but i think im fine for now.........

i think it still might be a tyte fit if i mount a slim fan in the stock location as the oem ac condenser fan. i might just put it on the front so i can make more room for the turbo components when i go turbo...

what do you all wrap your ac lines with? The stuff off summit that comes in a tube shaped coil type thing?

i just finished one of my set ups with ac.I got a blox type tubo manifold. I made a custom ac line for the part after the filler.im using a full size radiator 2 slim fans in factory locations.heat wraped the ac line and the dumptube(since the tube touched the back of the fan a little).and its been staying pretty cool.hot days suck though...im gonna wrap the downpipe but not the manifold and the turbo because keeping all the heat in also dont let it go out so yah.ilm goin to block buster right now but ill get back to you with pics when i come back.goodluck
