I have a 1gen Insight and I want to remove the stock radiator fan for the real estate and move the fan to the front. In front of the radiator though is the AC condenser (its fan will remain) the radiator is 16" wide and 12" hight, I can attach two 8" pushers but the would be also blowing through the condenser that they would be attached to. Common knowledge says that pullers with a shroud is ideal but will this work? Many K20 insights use the stock radiator no problem FWIW.

 

Pusher fans only provide about 60% of the CFM as the same fan in a shrouded puller configuration... so assuming you have a cooling fan or fans that provide more than 125% of your engine's airflow necessary for proper cooling, you will be fine moving the fan or fans to a pusher application.

 

Problem is I don't know what the stock units CFM rating is and being an Insight no one will probably know.... I can say the radiator is about the same as an EG civc
