    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.

      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.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        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
