    Non OEM Radiator Fan???

    Running a Centrifugal requires using an open radiator fan shroud that reduces the fan efficiency. I have tried moding the OEM Rad Fan Shroud but it puts the fan motor too close to the S/C Head.

    Has anyone used a different rad fan set up then the OEM? If so what are your coolant temps with the a/c on when the ambient is above 95*? What fan or fans did you use and how did you set them up?

    Thanks,

    You might be able to get the '06+ CV/GM fan to work. It's a little shallower than the '03-'04 but the electrical connector is different. Also, the FIT setup uses the OEM fan but mounts it upside-down. You may try that.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I forgot about FIT mounting upside down, old age???

    I think RRSusiki may have 2 pushers?

    Brian is correct.

    Mount it upside down, cut two tabs and extend the wires, then your good to go!

    I used the mustang fan and shroud but I plastic welded parts of the Marauder shroud onto it to cover the radiator. Driving stop and go traffic in 95 f temps car ran fine. Evan with a few trips into the boost, coolant and IAT temps were fine
