I mocked up my turbo/mani in the engine bay today and the inlet for the turbo literally butts up against the radiator fan shroud... even with a slim fan I'm going to need to reposition the radiator... Just want to see what some other people have done... any links or pics would be much appreciatted.

Here's what I'm working with:

 

Get a puller fan and mount it on the other side...

 

It would be a pusher, a puller is the factory set up.

that mani was clearly designed for the larger e cover turbo's. not a bad thing at all.

I would do what was mention swap to a front mounted pusher fan. you should be able to get an intake on there after that.

 

Bump for any links or pics... I've been browsing around trying to find anything similar.. but it's pretty difficult to search for.

 

Anyone?

 

I use had one and I had to get a pusher fan and put it in front of the radiator.

 

I don't know what your looking for? just slap a radiator fan on the front of the radiator instead of the back. thats all.

 

pusher fans aren't as efficient also I'm not sure I have room.

I've been told that a slim fan will work. I would like to see what other people have done before I go out and buy one.

 

what kind of mani is that, it didnt leave you any room for anything

 

It is a Spoolin Performance Quick4 Manifold and it leaves room for A/C and P/S.

I took off the stock fan/shroud and it will definately clear with a 45degree elbow and a slim fan in the front.

The only problem now is the oil drain which shouldn't be THAT bad... I have to wait to get the manifold back though as I sent it out for some changes/fixes.
