relocating fan!

  • Sponsors (?)


our factory fan can be reversed in polarity but doesn't pull as much air, and there isn't enough room to actually put it on the front side without cutting away at the bumper supports etc. I had a helper fan on till i got mine replaced(wasn't moving enough air thourgh a diff fan than fact.) and there was barely enough room for it. and it was only 3" ours is like 5

I just put an electric fan out of a '93 voyager in front of my radiator to act as a pusher. Ever since I put the Xenon front fascia on my car, my car will creep up to 210 or so on the highway which is WAY too ot for me with aluminum heads. It was a VERY tight fit to get the fan in front of the radiator, but I didn't have to cut anything. I did have to remove a little support bar for the hood latch assembly, but that's it. Honestly, I don't think this fan is helping at all though. I have a summitt radiator that I've had for a few years now that I need to get installed, once I do then I should be fine.

maybe he wants to make it look a little like the GTR?
What the hell are you talking about? What the hell is a GTR? Anyways, Im thinking of this idea is because I have a big @$$ summit radiator and with the fan it barely clears with an inch or two from the waterpump pulley. Beside the car would look a lot cleaner this way.

What is a GTR? Have you been under a rock? The GTR is only one of the baddest Mustangs ever built. Look at the Mustang next to the "StangNet's forums" at the top of the page. That is what it looks like. Here is an article on it:

OooooooooOoooooooOOOoooo mustang's turning ricer now? Type R!!! And black96 not to be mean but can u contribut to the subject instead of changing it? No hard feelings.
i was on topic. one of the questions was, why would someone want to move the fan to the front? it occurred to me that putting the fan in front would make it look like what they did with the GTR.

btw, i doubt many would agree with you on your "the GTR is a rice mobile" statement. do you think the cobra r is a ricer too? but that is off topic ...

my stock fan clears the w/p pulley by a lil bit. its definately a tight fit but beating the crap outta my car with the few 90* days we've had, i havent even hit 200 yet. normal to hard driving gets me to about 186-193ish :D
