Hi does anyone have a clue how to fit these I've just recieved them and they don't come with any fitting instructions atall :-( but also I can't see any way with what's provided to fit them here's a pic any help would be much appreciated

Oh yeah the rad they are going onto is brand new and sat here ready to put on if that helps

They should go in place of the OE shrouds fella. Looks like they'll screw in 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom like the OE setup.

Do the blue tabs click in to create anchor points? The frame looks similar size to an OE fan plus shroud anyway...

That's what it looks like to me too.
Use new stainless bolts.
If the old bolts shear off, they CAN be removed. I did mine by first removing the top and bottom metal brackets off the radiator, soaked the sheared off bolts inside and out with WD40, then clamped mole grips onto the thread that protruded INSIDE, and turned it out INWARDS, avoiding the worst of the rusted area which is on the inside.

If you have a new rad, it should have new brackets too.

Hi cheers for the answers yeah the blue tabs fit in any of the anchor points on the fan but when I brought them I assumed they would fit as you say to the oe holes but they turned out to be not quite as big as I thought as you can see

But I have found out how to fit: the zip tie things actually go through the rad fins but my next question is do you think they would be sufficient at cooling the car as they are smaller than the originals??

Please help someone :-(

Difficult one

on one side id rather a fan spins faster (do these) than the oe ones but then again its better to have a slower fan (not too slow obviously) but covering more of a surface area.

But are they so much smaller than the originals? IIRC, the OE fans, (mine only has one, btw), are on a frame large enough to span the rad, but the fan itself isn't that big?

apparently they spin faster than the oem fans it says on the tech specs 1720 CFM each whatever that means

Cubic Feet per Minute i think,how much air they create/Move etc

Yes the OE fans dont span the whole rad,but that shroud acts like a duct so all the rad gets air etc

anyone know the CFM of the OE FANS ?

But on this, you'll have two fans spinning at the same time, where as OE you only have one fan spin when the cars hot and another fan spin when the AC is on.

Which will mean you have 2x more cooling power now then before

Or just one, like mine

I assume you only get one fan when you have no AC?

The Rig

iTrader: (13)

Both my fans spin (I have air con) when the engine gets too hot,not just the one.

Both spin when A/C is on as well

On my WRX, one fan (on the drivers side) spins when the car is hot, then if i turn the AC on, the other fan (passenger side) starts to spin? Cant say ive noticed them both spin with the AC turned off

Yeah only one fan with no aircon and two with but I've only ever looked at which ones were spinning earlier (originals are still attached) and they both were spinning when the aircon was on

The Rig

iTrader: (13)

weird,both mine spin without a/c on when engine gets hot,not that im complaining LOL

Then,if engine isnt warm yet i have the a/c on,both spin again,both have independant plugs,not joined together etc

weird

Unless some wires have been bridged under the relays in the fuse box?

The Rig

Possibly i guess,some japanese guy did some wonders on it before it got here in the uk so anythings possible with it LOL
