Wiring them backwards might work but the pitch of the fan blade is what matters. If I wired my flex a lites backwords they would move air but not enough new blades and problem solved.

ya, when i pulled my stock fans out i wired them backwards and they moved very little air. i couldnt see them moving enough air to keep it cool. your probably going to need some good pushers.

I trimmed up the fan blade and tried everything and it just wont work without the blade being reversed also. and thats not really possible.... so im gonna have to buy a pusher fan.
What is the best BUDGET pusher fan????

thanks.... ya i thought about that! My username also! LMAO....
I think ill just leave them for now.... i have other things to spend the money on besided new custom plates, depending on how the motor holds up and what it puts down i might change it eventually.

Got all the cold pipe done, mounted the trans cooler, got the dual catch cans setup, oil lines for turbo ran, radiator and fans mounted, all wiring done, boost guage installed, ect... ITS ALIVE AGAIN! 
all i have left is to bleed the brake lines, 2nd walbro, 3 point SFC's, lca brackets, Downpipe, and tuning....
AND 1 problem to figure out! ---> I reversed the wires for the fans to run them backwards well they wont turn on! The car got way past the 160* turn on temp! I checked the DTC's with the scanner and it comes up with fan relay failure! WTF, reversing the wires shouldn't cause them to not work. i dont think...
I will get pictures up later!

didn't get pictures taken... got the fan problem figured out though.
After checking everything over and deciding to take it for an EASY (no boost) to the gas station well i get a block away to a stop sight and look in the mirrorand had a small trail for about 15ft!!!!!!! it was oil!!! the damn timing cover seal is leaking!!
So I have to tear the damn thing down again! This really pissed me off tonight! I just wanna sell it now, lmao....
I will get pictures sometime im just so pissed that i can look at it right now!
