Mounting thermo fan on front of radiator

[markismaximus]

I've got it pulling now but may swap it in the future, if it runs too hot I'll just swap it back, only 4 bolts

so have you got it pulling air from the back, or pushing from the front? What you said above makes no sense.

"If it runs too I'll just swap it back" to what? isn't it already on the back?

It's on the back currently. Will most likely stay there

[markismaximus]

lame

I am also interested to know if mounting on the front would cause cooling issues...

[crobaa]

If I remove my ac condenser I will put it on the front and see how it goes, it's only 4 bolts to change it back if need be. Depends what model of car too, no grill on audm dc2.

Why don't you put it in front of the condenser

Would it be efficient? Pushing through condenser + radiator. It's very powerful compared with standard fan

Installed a 9 inch Davies craig fan yesterday on the front of condensor.
reason being, running Tri-Y Plm headers which has no clearance for a puller fan.

Also am running 12 inch davies craig fan on the drivers side.

Was running the Integra with just the 12inch fan for few months with no issues, even on a hot day. Just feels a tad better having 2 fans.

Also want to mention, im running a full size koyo radiator.

And when installing puller fan on passenger side,
There will be the a steel line shaped as a U in front which I believe leads to the power steering. Which you have to adjust to clear the new fan.

Just my 2 cents

Again, are toy asking or telling?

Can't quite tell


I've been using Davies Craig in front of condenser for few years.


my engine only revs to 8500k rpm though

Generally a question mark means it's a question. You could have mentioned that you'd be using a fan in front from the start.

Is your car a audm front dc2r?
Does it have half size or full size rad?
What size fan?

I got a 12" fan, pretty much covers the entire half size rad. Think it will suffice on the front? Also taking into account mods on my new motor

A non spaghetti header + full size rad with 2 fans, thats more like it for your mods

Josh has a point with the blades . There are some that are designed only only for push and some for pull . But in general NO , it will not cause you any problems . There are cars from factory that work either way and a lot of big turbo applications , that do not use top mount and need the extra clearance are swapped to front mount fans . Have done this in a lot of street cars , high output and high RPM cars .

To make a little more clear when you are driving your car on the high way or free roads your car is being mostly air cooled (as the fan doesn't work) but while you are driving on these conditions the fan turns a little bit , so it will not cause you any problems . These happens regardless of which side it is mounted .

Yes, I agree.

A question mark means its a question.
people are giving you points and idea but you just keep defending your ideology.

(its a very powerful fan)
(plenty run it without a problem)

Why ask if you already have so much information for the push configuration.
