    Water pump mod?

    Thinking out loud... Has anyone who pulled there clutch fan cut the threads off of their water pump to gain extra clearance for an electric fan. I know it's a only a few cm, but on the m20 and possibly on some 24v swaps thats all you would need.

    a few cm? more like a few mm...

      The best location for an electric fan is for it to be mounted on a shroud in front of the radiator. In which case the water pump shaft isn't a consideration.

        But thats where the intercooler is supposed to go.

        Yea I checked it out again and realized I was being really optimistic about it.

        I really want to do a 24v turbo setup but also like the idea of ac, and I don't know if a single pusher will provide enough airflow through a condenser, intercooler, and radiator in 110 degree weather.

        Looks like no AC
