Default so how do i put a filter on here ??? very limited space...

ok this is for my 94 accord. I'm thinking of just moving the fan to the driver side since i only have one fan on right now with no problems. then put a 45 degree coupler ( will 45 degrees clear?) to a pipe then a filter. any ideas?

as long as ur car has a dump tube and it leads way down there, u dont need it. what u did seems to be ok, unless u really want to put an intake in there

Yeah, you don't need an air filter. Car manufacturers just put them on there for the hell of it.

Seriously though, mount the fan in front and wire it to push rather than pull. Then you'll just need to get creative with the silicone elbows/couplers and piping.

I would say like the other mount th fan on the other side, but even then it looks like it's so close to the radiator that it still won't work.

I bought a pusher style fan off ebay and wired it into my factory harness. Very clean install and it comes on at the same temp the stock one did! BIG

thanks for the suggestion guys , i'll try it out. but then I have A/C... so uhh i put it in front of the A/C condensor?

if no filter is really ok, then i'll go for it. so my turbo will be ok 100%? i just don't want a collection of dirt inside the turbo, mess up the fins or anything.. btw: my dump tube is routed back to the exhaust 18+ inches down...

the fan i see looks like an aftermarket fan....

if they are both aftermarket and can be swapped to the other side, do both...put each in there respective areas...like radiator fan on the left side and ac on the right...

but you might be ok with just swapping the radiator fan since its the one thats causing you the immediate problem...but if it ends up causing a problem...swap both of them....

I would look on E-Bay for a cheap 3" intake that looks like it has about the right type of bends you need, also I would try to get air that might be a little cooler, not from right behind the radiator.
