what radiator fans do you run after you turbo?

As the title states, when you have limited room after swapping your manifold and putting a turbo in there, what do you do for cooling? What radiator do you run , what fans do you run?

I used to run a custom modified aluminum half size radiator for a Civic with a Flex-a-Lite slim 12" puller on my original 16G6 kit. After I switched to my ram horn manifold more room was freed up so I eventually switched to a CBRD full size Evo radiator. I run two 10" pusher fans in front of the condenser now and they work beautifully.

Well I havent put my turbo kit in yet but I have a 10" push/pull slim fan capable of 1550 cfm that will be going in with the kit

senate do you have a picture of your fan setup , also are you using the original fan controller box looking thing that is mounted on the fan closest to the driver side?

I'm using one 10" push fan I bought off of ebay... I haven't had any overheating issues, even on days that hovered around 100 degrees. I also have a vented hood.

thunder or any one that has the push/pull fans can take a pic of how ur blades are on ur fans cause i got the push/pull one off ebay and i powered it to see if i can get it to push the in to the car but it seems to be pushing air toward the front of the car if mounted on the front and when i flip the blades it sucks air still pushed out the front but not as much

[ThunderOZ]

You know what, now that I think about it, I'm not sure if it's on right or not... Was I supposed to reverse the fan blades as well as the polarity?

[03lances]

You dont reverse the blades on the fan you just reverse the wires on a push pull. If it is pulling air then reversing the wires will push the air

ok that what i was thinking but i wasnt sure since one is black and one is blue so i figured blue is positive and black is negative but ima go try it the opposite right now let u know what happens

[link62]

k update i went and reversed the wireing and it did a push it the other way but didnt put out enough air cause of the blades facing the opposite way so fliped the blades and did it again and a lot more air was flowing so now its good to go thanks

[ThunderOZ]

just curious, when on the car do the blades spin clock wise or counter clockwise (when looking through the screen of the fan grill)?

[link62]

i havent put mine on the car but they would spin clockwise

[ThunderOZ]

So you just flipped the blades? How hard was that to do?

[link62]

not hard at all just took the nut off and fliped put the washer on the other side tightend\
and yea just fliped the blade and polarity, blue negative and black positive.

How is yours mounted?
