Default Engine Cooling Fan Question....Both Needed???

There are two fans on the radiator....well the one to the driver's side is hitting the turbo....i could trim it put just curious, do the both work at the same time or is one for something else??? The one to the passenger side looks bigger and better and I was wondering if the one to the driver's side is jsut for a/c or somethin???

I think you can get away with just one. I'm not sure but the other one may just be for A/C. I 've seen Accords with one only, let's just put it that way.

It needs both fans for the a/c to work properly. If you get rid of the a/c, one should be fine.

The one on the driver side is the condenser fan.
the other one is the radiator. You could probably
pull the condenser and be fine.

in the summer you will need both, i had this same problem with my turbo. in the end i bought a motorcycle fan and replaced it with that. when its 90 degrees and up and u boost ur car will over heat. until it cools. this is only if u r not on a highway or something

you dont need both in the summer

unless like you said you are running a turbo setup then it would be necessary
