    Installing Electric Fan

    Hey guys,

    I got my electric fan. Bought it off of ebay - 16", 2400 CFM 3.5" deep - $55

    What's the best way to go about mounting these? Twist ties? If so - where thru? Should I keep the shroud on?

    Thanks!

      Hmm, I got the 3.5" fan with the understanding that i could use it as a puller. Dammit... :?

        Some of the good quality fans you can flip the blade around, and reverse the polarity so it will work the other way.

          Yea, mine I could reverse too. HOWEVER, I would eventually like to get my AC working. The car IS my daily driver, and I still want AC.

          So - I was hoping to put a puller fan in my engine bay, and keep my aux fan so I can eventually get my AC working again.

          I was thinking that I could switch the radiator shroud around, and put my electric fan in as a puller fan so it's a little offset - so it would clear the water pump.

          Think that would work?
