All owners with AC & B16A1s in EF hatches?
Did you have to use a slim line fan?
I can not get the AC fan in without it sitting on top of the header.
I need to keep the AC but its starting to look like it might have to go
I have a Kamikaze header too

I have the Hasport billet kit with the AC kit

This question also applies to turbo EF owners also

Is there a slim line fan available that will clear all of the above mentioned

 

Most ef owners I know had to change their radiators because of hte fan issue!
You might want to buy a fluidyne
I wouldn't know because keeping ac for me cost too much so I just took the thing out

 

you could just leave the fan off.. and keep movin

 

i had to use the jdm fan (which happen to be slimmer) cause of the jdm radiator. it still touches the header. but just touches. hasn't caused a problem yet *knock on wood*. but i would have gone with a slimline if it didnt work.

 

what kind of slimline fan do you recommend?

 

Fal, Spal. i know there are others.

 

any body else got any ideas

 

just go to the auto store and check out their line of universal fans. and find one that will clear the area you have. i think that will save you some $$$ as oppose to going with a fal/spal. check summit's online selection for an option. hth

 

Perhaps it's because of the headers. I have A/C in my rex with the same setup and my fans aren't touching the headers at all.. there INCHES from them. I have the stock headers although. I didn't get aftermarket headers because I'm lazy and didn't want to go to a muffler shop to have a second bung welded.

I also looked at SEVERAL dyno charts and saw that headers didn't make enough power to be worth the money/time/effort at this point in my power making career.

My only problem was getting the fans back in when I replaced my radiator. I had to remove the battery to lift up the a/c lines enough to get the fans in. What a PITA!

btw: I just saw "The Ring" tonight and I'm still very creeped out.
