Well, I'm having bit of trouble installing turbo due to turbo inlet getting in a way of stock radiator fan. So, I decided to get pusher fan. I tried with 12" slim pusher fan and I won't fit unless I cut off the frame, which I don't want to.
Anyone ran into similar trouble?
How did you guys set up radiator fan?
By the way, I have aftermarket half size aluminum radiator.

 

Pics?

 

Picture up.

 

That doesn't look like a slim fan and if you have to just trim the fans housing.

Triming the fan housing is not a very smart thing to do.
Slim fan would work the best.

 

I haven't install the slim yet. But with the thinkness of slim fan it will still get in a way of turbo..... so try to trim out is only way?
I'm building this to a show car..... isn't there a clean way to do it?
Thing is after i do trim out... i have to trim out even more to put the pipe for filter.

There is no way for pusher fan?

 

Idk, i just dont think that triming the fan housing is the best thing that you could do. Try installing the slim fan and see how that fits. Is there anyway that you can get a better picture? (OP pic is very fuzzy)

 

rock the slim fan infront of the radiator

 

Yeah... i know pic is fuzzy. problem is... i already put stock stuff back on until i find out what to do.
It's like 1/2 or bit more has to be shift left for the turbo to be connected to manifold but stock radiator fan is getting in it's way. I purchased 12" fan (2" small then stock) and about half slim as the stock fan. I think i could place if off one side and have the turbo inlet clean of the radiator but I don't think it's going to look pretty with wirestrap to hold the radiator.

Well... like i said in the 1st post, even 12" fan can't fit in there unless i cut off part of the frame.....

hehe.. thanks!

 

So... anyone with answer?

 

Help please~!!!!

 

what type of slim fan are you trying to use. you can go to any auto store and buy a round pusher/puller fan that mounts directly to the radiator using those plastic things that push trough the radiator fins.

they look small but they flow more cfm than OEM.

I'm close to cerritos and have never seen your sol before. you must keep it garaged and never drive it

 

I got 12" in diameter and 1.75" thick at the bracket and about 2.25" thick at the center.
I don't think a fan can be any slimer than this or at least i haven't seen one slimer than this before.

I usually drive on weekend. I have other daily drive car.

 

No one has B16 with turbo? Any EG6?

 

everyone including my mom has a b16 turbo.
