Ok, decided to do a test fit to see if my current manifold would locate the turbo in a suitable location

![http://www.viper966.com/gt35/DSC00794.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/gt35/DSC00794.jpg)  
OH crap its not gonna fit  
 ![http://www.viper966.com/gt35/DSC00795.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/gt35/DSC00795.jpg)  
yea crap hrm  
 ![http://www.viper966.com/gt35/DSC00797.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/gt35/DSC00797.jpg)  
well without any fans it fits fine  
 ![http://www.viper966.com/gt35/DSC00798.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/gt35/DSC00798.jpg)  
Yep plenty of room without fans… how i just gotta fiure out how to route the dump tube

Will i be able to put some fans on the other side of the ac condensor? and have them push air through instead of pull?

thats the only way this thing is gonna clear…

Then you need to be concerned with heat soak and want max flow through the engine bay! lol. my fans worked OK on the the front, i think i remember reading they are about 70% as efficient as pullers.

Yeah, pushers are about 15% less efficient than pullers. More or less you are blocking flow to the radiator with the fans. Maybe you could get fans that flow 15% more CFM??:gotme:

Are those stock fans? If not, what size are they?

If all else fails, you can sell me that GT35R. It’ll work perfect on my 2.9L.

you should be able to reverse the polarity on those flex a lites.

if you run 10’s i might be interested in the 12’s.

You are right about the fans…“pullers” are designed for the air to flow through them like an air horn, low pressure to high pressure. When you flip the same fan around and make it a “pusher”, you re arrange the flow for high pressure to low pressure. Not good, you want to suck in the low pressure (ambient) air, and concentrate it to high pressure via the “air horn” effect of the blades.

Edit: A fan designed as a pusher style fan will obviously reverse that and make it better, but you are still obstructing air flow…not much though.

I had this exact discussion with a guy at work the other day.

BTW stuff looks good, can’t wait to see it in action! :tup:
