Im in the process of installing the drag 3 turbo kit on my 2000 GSR. My question is, did any of you guys have to modify the fan in order to get the compressor housing to clear it? I had to modify my fan a lot!

It seems everyone has to butcher their fans.

Yup not only do you have to cut the shroud you have to cut the fins on the fan too. Do a search I created a topic on this when I cut my fan a while back.

I did not have to cut the fan blades. Just part of the shroud. Just unbolt the fans, and move them over about an inch. Simple. Good luck

i had to rape the fan today. I basically dont have a fan at all anymore.

LOL, if you try to move the fan before porking the damn thing, you will realize you only need to cut off a small bit of it.

I didn't on my civic, but I helped a friend put one on his 97 LS and we had to cut a little away from the fan shroud with a dremel(dremel with a carbide disk works the best).

You also might want to think about making the holes used to bolt the fan to the body bigger/longer so you can pull the fan up closer, hence giving more room for engine movement. I did this with the LS and my own civic, eventhough I didn't really need to with my car.

That's weird, I didn't have to touch mine. Only trimming I had to do was the bit of webbing on the block.

i had to cut the fan was well.....totally cut it up...there was basically nothing left...

But since then i switched manifolds, and my a 3" downpipe...and I totally had clearance problems with the a/c lines and the a/c fan (second fan)...So I got fal fans, it was a really tight fit, but it all worked out. i'll try and get pictures soon...

i didnt have to cut anything. i just clipped the fan shroud at where the turbo was touching and it works fine that way.
