installing a new slim fan, curious which way the stock fan spins. if looking from the front of the car, which way is the fan spinning? reason I want to know is because it will clear more room for my manifold, and the fan is small enough to fit on the other side of the radiator. Im guessing stock is clockwise, which would make it suck air in from the from the bumper, through the radiator, toward the block. I doubt it would be the other way, blowing hot air off the block/manifold into the radiator. if I wanted to make the fan spin the other way, how would I do so? there are only two wires on the stock and slim fan...ground and power.

 

correct me if i am wrong but as far is i remember..

if u r looking at the same view as driving view.. i think it spins clockwise

Switching power and ground reverses the direction that the fan blows.

You want air to be pulled or pushed through the radiator. Just make sure that the fan is wired as a "puller" if it's behind the radiator and as a "pusher" if it's in front of the radiator.

also be sure to remove the fan blades and install them in the proper "pusher" configuration.

just so u know tho, if you have a/c you can't fit a fan in front of the radiator, there isn't enough clearance between it and the a/c condensor.

 

Another easier way to tell is simply looking at the fan blades themselves. They will show you which way they spin by appearence.

this is how I determined which way the stock fan rotates lol. good to know I can just switch the power and ground to make it a "pusher" instead of a "puller"

no a/c here, but the intercooler might be cutting it kinda close. I took some measurements, should be ok.

 

It depends on which hemisphere you have the caR, much like a toilet bowl.

your car is a toilet bowl, so what happens in that case?
