Are you guys splicing the original harness to wire them in ? I am about to install mine but I dont know whether I want to splice the ones on the fans on the original ones or the original harness. I want it to be clean. any suggestions ? and also do i have to change one of the blades around so that one pushes and one pulls ? I got the radiator zip tie things from autozone to install them. I still want them to kick in like the factory and how is the cooling if it has to go through the condenser ?

 

watching i was thinking the same thing but todd told me they had 2 be wired t the oem harness but i never heard about turning a fan over?

 

you flip the blades over and wire them opposite, so blue to black and vice versa (for the fans that todd provides at least)

 

I have Mishimoto fans. I spliced them into the factory harness. It isn't too bad, just make sure the connections are good and that they are water tight. I used some good heat shrink tubing to make sure they were protected from the elements.

Right now, I have both of my fans set up to pull, but will be switching one around to push to make sure I have enough room for my intercooler piping. As it is now, the fan will rub against the silicone coupler and I don't want it to wear a hole in it. All you have to do is switch the blades around though.

 

do I switch one or both of the fans ? and can I just take the clips from the old fans and sodder them in that way I still have the original clips ?

 

You can switch whatever you want. I have seen figures that say pulling air through the radiator gives you 15% more cooling power than pushing it through. That is why I am going to leave one fan pulling and just switch the second to push so that my intercooler piping has more room.

I just clipped the stock connectors off and soldered on the wires to run the new fans. It isn't too difficult.

 

hmmmm dunno if i feel right haveing 2 fan pushing and 1 fan pulling

 

do you have a picture of what it looks like please ? itll clear everything up. thanks man.

 

yea pictures would be nice all todd told me was just wire them opposite nothing about turning a fan over

 

yea on the slim fans the wires are blue & red tod told me to wire blue to black then red to blue oem wires are black and blue.... and told me that u want the fan's to be pushing not pulling
