Default found alittle more engine space

Well I have been finishing up my b16 swap. Well I swaped to a half size radiator, and lucky me the stock fan didnt fit with the dc 4-1 header i have. Well preping for the day i just might go turbo I was thinking of away to make alittle more space. Well instead of getting a fan that pulls air I got one that pushes the air through the radiator.


I tilted it alittle back alittle so it would fit using a 99-00 si upper hose.

So is the fan on the front side of the radiator? Does your engine get any hotter then normal? I wonder if it affects it.

yep it is on the front side of the radiator. Dont know yet if it will run hotter as I am still working on the swap, but since i will run my fan off a switch (just as i have done my turbo cars) I usually just turn them on and off as i see fit to controle the temp of the water.

the fan on the front should be fine mine is like that but I have a full size rad. the pusher fans are 10-15% less efficient then a puller fan
