I think Fluidyne sells a brand that you can attach to the rad itself, but in my case, I just used some welding equipment, welded some brackets aand put my stock fan on the rad. Never had air that cold in my life, took about 5 minutes to make the brackets, and for never welding, it looks like Fluidyne did it, I cant take some pics if you want..

I don't know how well these pics turned out, so lets hope it helps..



^ you can see the weld spots where I mounted the old AC fan.. I made a little clip thats the shape of an L to hold the bottom on aswell..



^ both fans running, also shows you that they fit perfetly along the back of the rad..

Yeah, you could probably take it to any metal shop and get them to weld it for 15-20 bucks, its easy..

Yeah you won't get cold air w/o the fan. When we were at NOPI last year (my car and my friend's Civic both inside the speedway), somehow the screw came out of the A/C fan on my friend's Civic, so he had no cold air. I busted out my handy tap and die set and re-tapped the hole in the fan blades so that I could use a screw I had laying around in my toolbox, and voila! he had cold air once again.

If you have a newer teg you never have had very cold air. I have a '98 GSR and have to say it is the worst A/C I have had. BeCool also makes some adjustable fan brackets that will work, no welding required.

Why is that? My 94 uses R134a and the A/C is pretty darn cold, 140K miles on the car and engine as well. Are newer ones less effective?
