Procharger with stock fans
Have any of you put the stock fans on your procharged car - and if so how hard was it? I just got off the phone with Rick from Synergy motorsports here in cali and he told me that the best cooling would be to use the stock fans and that they have done quite a few.

Its a tight fit when the inlet hat is on, without modification im not sure how a set of factory fans will fit. A single 16in SPAL fan and then a aux 8in fan should do just about any climate good.

Moving the radiator forward only helps if you bring the whole entire core forwards. Cutting the support is not for everyone for sure. We do not have issues with cooling here with the single ATI fan.

I'd like to see that too. I don't know anyone who has made them fit, even with the stock hat & radiator moved forward. It would be awesome if they did fit. Stk fans & shroud kick ***.

Here's my setup: it's sufficient if you leave the a/c off, or run the a/c while driving at 50+ mph...otherwise you need more fans https://ls1tech.com/forums/attachmen...0&d=1149603217

I got the Spal fan swapped out for you that you wanted as it had not shipped yet. Bob

Yep, same setup. My inlet elbow touched the fan shroud so I deleted the AC cooler. I was worried the plastic would get destroyed from rubbing. And I never had a problem with cooling with 1 fan until my Mezierre's wiring got nicked & the pump quit running properly.

I moved my radiator up as far as possible without cutting anything and also do not have ac and still could not get the stock fans to fit. I have the shortest 90 possible instead of the restrictive stock hat. I don't see how it could be possible unless you use a restrictive short hat on the procharger and what fun is that.
