a/c condenser fan for 92 and 95 civic
Does anyone here know if the condenser fan for a 92 civic is the same as it is for a 94 civic?
I'm having abnormally high liquid line pressures in my a/c and its b/c of my headers and oil cooler that sits in front of the condenser not allowing it cool as efficiently as it has when the car was completely stock. I was thinking that maybe a 94 condesner fan b/c it was designed for r134a would spin faster and thus push a higher volume of air through my condenser. I've compared the fan from a 92 civic and that from a 94-95 civic and they look identical although i don't know if the speed that they spin at are the same.
I know that i'm not moving enough air through my condenser b/c when I spray water onto my condesner when the a/c is running the liquid line pressures drop considerably and the cooling performance becomes better.
CAn anyone here tell me if they're the same?
Thanks
BTW my a/c was converted properly to use r134a.

NO the fan is the same.. so it will not help at all.
can you move the oil cooler to another location? given most oil is at 170 or so temp and your condenser is almost the same your not cooling the refegriant to convert it to liquid to work correctly.
Even if you increased air flow the residual heat from the oil cooler is going to still make it hot.
