    WTT: 16" puller for a Pusher

    I have a SPAL (BeCool) 16" Thin line puller fan that I need to trade for a pusher. Preferably one of equal value. I have no room for a puller any more. This fan works great for swapping from a clutch fan. It is one of the only 16" fans that will fit between the m30 and radiator.

    Here is the fan in question:
    http://www.jegs.com/i/Be+Cool+Radiat...75058/10002/-1


    It's only been run on the car for about a month. Since then, it has been sitting in the garage.

    I will sell it for $75 shipped if I have to, but I would prefer a trade as I need a pusher fan.

    Thanks,
    Trey

    Why do you need a pusher as opposed to a puller? I need a fan for my M30 swap which do you recommend?

      Got a noobish question. Mostly because i thought too much about it and got confused..

      Do i need a pusher or puller on the front of my condensor?

        If it's in the front of any radiator, it's a pusher.

            This fan will not fit between the motor and the radiator with my m30 swap.


            Anyone?

              Are you using A/C? I just put a huge pusher SPAL fan in front of my radiator since I removed the A/C fan/condenser

                This.


                Ive done this on mine as well. But im finding that since i reinstalled my condensor im needing more CFM. The head pressure on the Freon is shooting through the roof if i sit still

                      No I am not using A/C. And I am looking for a huge pusher SPAL fan, hence this thread.

                      They make two versions of this fan, one puller and one pusher. If I could just reverse the rotation, they would not have come out with both types.

                        well apparently you can flip the blade around...
