- Wed Mar 16, 2011 11:36 pm #244340 ok so i picked up a dual core aluminum radiator to cool down my d15b vtec..i also got a slim fan because they have more clearance than the stock fan.. so ive noticed even with the aluminum dual core radiator the slim fan isnt cooling the motor as good as my stock radiator and stock fan did..i put my stock fan back on and seems to cool better but i was wondering if i could mount the slim fan on the front side of the radiator for dual cooling? if so how would i wire it so it will pull air or push the air??

- Wed Mar 16, 2011 11:46 pm #244343 just reverse the wires.

your car is your story, dont let someone else write the book.

- Thu Mar 17, 2011 1:05 am #244356 yeah i was also wondering how i would wire the fan to push the air?? will it redtrict any airflow being that its going to be mounted in front of the radiator?

- Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:06 am #244364 Like previously stated, just reverse the wires and it will reverse the flow. I would think in theory that having that having that fan in front of the radiator would restrict your flow of air when its not on.

jsut put the stock fan on and hook it up right

the fan should only come on under 30ish mph
after that the wind flow is good enough

did u ever replace ur fan switch?
