slim fans in front of radiator question
whats up, i am installing my slim fans infront of the radiator to make room for the turbo but i realized i cant mount them facing the right way (the way the air blows) because of the way they are shaped, has anyone ever done this...hooked them up backwards and then hooked the + to the - and the - to the + so the fans ran the opposite way?? that way i can mount them correctly and then the air will blow backwards ( but towards the motor ) but is this bad or is there a reason i shouldnt do this? i can post pics if yall want to see

This is very common to do. A good fan will allow you to detatch the blades and mount them the other way so it will flow correctly.

you could buy a fan thats made for the front. they are called push fans. Im going to do both to have a push & pull effect.
