I just cut my radiator support starting to work in my turbo project. Now my question is to those who standed up their radiators and use the griffin radiator. Any one used the factory fans with this radiator?
I like to use them because it save me from spend in a new ones and most inportant i know they can cool my motor like it shoud be.
If you use your factory fan how you modify them to fit?
I like to see pictures of yours. Thanks

I have shrouded pullers that are lower profile than the stock fans that work excellent. I was going to modify the stockers to fit but they fetch a decent price so I sold them off and bought some flex-a-lite 420 shrouded pullers. No issues with them at all and they have just enough room to fit the turbo without touching.

I can try to get some pictures of mine this evening, if I remember. I cut the fans in half and trimmed them to fit. I noticed that another member trimmed his stock fans to fit without cutting them in half, not sure if it would have worked for my setup though as I am having to position the fans around the turbo a bit.

Check that link for pics of the fan setup that I mentioned.
