Ok im using a 10" hayden slim fan for the condensor. Its setup as a puller behind the radiator. With the a/c on for awhile, i can see the temp gauge start to slowly climb.

This doesnt happen when the a/c isnt on. Im guessing the fan isnt working out...

Would it be better if i set it up as a pusher in front of the condensor? Is it more efficient as a pusher?

TIA

 

we've actually found the 10" fans just will not cool a boosted honda, and have since switched to the 12" with nothing but great results.
one of the welders here, andy has a PeakBoost kit on his b-series EG and had this same problem, switched to the 12" and its just fine...
hth

 

my car did the same thing...even driving on the freeway with the ac on the car will start to over heat...if the ac is off i have no problems even in stop & go traffic...i have a turbo gsr with a full size raditor and the FAL fan kit...also the coolant system is fully bleed......i don't get it you whold think that bein at freeway speeds the car would be ok...but if the ac system is on the car will start to overheat...the ac system is charged properly

Thanks for the info.

 

Ok one last time...

Does anyone have a 10" fan for the condensor setup as a pusher on a full size radiator? Would i get better results if its setup as a pusher rather than a puller?

I just dont want to go ripping off the bumper and intercooler just to find out it still over heats, then rip everything off again to take it out

TIA

So the only option is a 12"...

...Or spraying a water mist on the radiator to take advantage of the awesome concept of evaporative cooling.

 

im usin a 12" slim fan for my condensor and i just got a 14" for my radiator...
first i had only the 12" slim fan on the condensor with a stock a/c fan on my radiator and car ran cool when a/c on...

 

12" fan does it. Keeps temps below half and a/c is cold.

 

12 will do the job good, but a 14 will do an even better job

 

wow... this is like good news. i've been having the SAME problem since switching to the same fan. time to go with a 12 or 14!!!

 

my ac gets 40 degrees even if its in the high 90's outside all day long
