Default Q's on fan size & using pusher fans for Integra. Max size?

I tried this in the Integra forum but didn't get one single post.

I'm trying to find out what the max size fan that can fit in front of the condenser without cutting, welding or hacking. Thanks.

Is that any slimmer than the slim fans you can get from any auto store or normally here on Honda-tech? I ask because I just tried a 10" 'slim' fan that I got from autozone and there wasn't enough clearance from the condenser to the metal tab that holds the P/S lines and the hood latch for me to sneak a fan in.

I fit two 12" pusher fans on the front of my condensor. You will need to trim the corners of the fan shroud to fit however.

Muckman, are you running those two fans alone on your setup or in conjunction with a puller radiator fan? I wouldn't think two pusher radiator fans were enough to keep the motor from overheating.

I have a single puller on the rear of my condenser and haven't noticed anything abnormal with my AC.

OP, stay away from autozone fans in general. I have b18turbo (honda-tech sponsor) fans on my car. They work but if I could do it all over again I would have went with SPAL fans. They're top notch and worth the extra couple bucks.

nice Muck, but it looks like i'm gonna have to do some trimming cause your car doesn't have the metal tab mine does that goes from the PS lines to the hood latch. Mine goes smack down the center and when I tried to fit the 10" i have in there, that's what was causing the issue with fitment.

Who runs pullers and pushers? That would be way overkill.
These fans are the ones from b18turbo which flow twice than stock. Its plenty to cool any setup.

FunkDrSpot - I removed my center metal peice as you can see. Drill out the spot welds. Throw it away and zip tie the PS cooler to the fan or do what I did and bend the crap out of it and mount it lower.

I want to and it's not way overkill in Sacramento. It's getting anywhere between 90 and 110 up here and just the other day I was hitting 110c oil temps while just sitting in traffic, worse when driving.

My engine bay sounds like yours as far as the sheer amount of heat and I'm not even turbo yet.
