Which pusher fans should i buy for turbo setup?
I need to put my radiator fans on the opposite side of the radiator to clear a bigger turbo and air inlet setup. I was wondering what all the FI guys are running. I also have 2 trans coolers infront of the radiator so im looking for some serious fans that can keep up with the amount of heat i need moved.
Thanks

Two big SPALs, as large as will fit. Are you trying to push past the AC and your trans coolers prior to the radiator? A good shroud setup can really help...

I will also be needing 1 or 2 fans for my turbo setup.
Has anyone had success with keeping the AC Condensor in front of the radiator? I would like to keep it, and willing to pay for good fans that will keep the car cool.

I just installed these Delale fans in my car http://www.derale.com/single-rad-fan.html. They push 2200 cfm and I have two mounted up for 4400 CFM, don't know if you can get much better than that and have them fit up.
I have two brand new Spal fans Part Number: 30102045 (1710 CFM each) http://www.spalusa.com/ that go for $150 a piece I will be selling if your interested, make you a deal .

I hooked these directly up to my battery and they push a **** load of air, but I don't know about putting the trans coolers and condensor in front of them, might be ok though. I don't see anything better out there to get more CFM threw a raidiator in a pusher fan.

On the site it says
They're designed to pull air through a radiator only, not push it.
So if their mounted in front of the radiator they would be pulling it out, not pushing through right?

Electric Fan, Single, 11.75 in. Diameter, Pusher, 2,210 cfm, Black, Plastic, Each.
I saw that to, they must have just copied and pasted it from the puller fan Derale makes. I assure you these are Pushers, I tested them myself. Also, go to Derale web site, you'll see that part number as a Pusher fan.

Im thinking of maybe leaving the pass side with the stock since i only need the extra room on the driver side. Then putting one pusher on the driver side.

I was going to do that,but i only need a little bit of room for this setup and it seems like a lot of work. If the fan wasnt there id have plenty of room to spare.

Yah, leave a puller on if at all possible. I'm also curious if anyone's ever "sandwiched" a fan between the AC condenser and the radiator... that's gotta be better than trying to push through both of them.
