    Default Using the AC fan as the engine fan?...

    Anyone know of a problem with moving an AC fan over to where the engine fan is? It obviously doen't flow as much as the bigger, five blade main fan but the plug fits and it gives me a bit more room in there for the intake. It's still cold here (40s) and I've got a Fluidyne so hopefully the difference won't matter.

    This is a temporary fix until my slim fan gets here but I'd like to start driving the car again now that the snow is melted away :D

    id say try it and see if it overheats or not. if you do start to overheat then id say change fans but if not then id say you are all good :)

    Brilliant!!! lol I drove around today and it works just fine. I doubt it would cut it for track time or hot summer days but it works great for now.

    use the trigger for the engine fan relay to trigger the A/C fan relay at the same time
