is it ok to mount my fan on the back of the rad in the engine bay, its got a 3in gap between the turbo and the fan its on the cooler part of the turbo, the turbo is going to have a heat shield, is the fan going to git to hot?

cheers

it woul be better to have the fan on the front of the rad and that way you could fit a bigger one aswell and not worry about melting it

SteveXR2T

to be fair the only palce that needs extra strenght is the crossmember every where else in the engine bay is spot on

SteveXR2T

i was going to weld a plate to both sides of the crosmember then bolt every thing back on to it to give it more strenght the next time mine cracks
