If your fan is mounted between Rad and Engine, you want the fan to suck (towards engine). If your rad is mounted between Fan and Engine, you want the fan to blow (towards engine). ---

_facepalm_ …Which way do they blow currently?.. Which way does the air go at 100km/h? These two things should be the same. ---

its blowing at the engine, not at the rad. I thought it was suppose to blow at the rad. ---

Ah, i see i have them correct, because there sucking the air towards the rad i see. Thanks It was just because when i had the a/c fan it blew air at the rad. Leading me to think that i had them the wrong way. ---

Yeah, it’s called a “puller” set up, as opposed to a “pusher” one, where the air is being pulled through the rad by the fan, as opposed to being pushed through it from the front. ---

It was actually still set up to suck the air, but through the AC condenser. It just happen to be pushing it towards the rad.
