I just picked up a new T3 DNP exhaust manifold & the thing is way too big for both my radiator fans. I think it would even be too large for slim fans.
I was wondering how hard it would be to install a set of fans in front of the condenser & radiator. Also, would it cool as well as the stock fans would?
 
Post above me, That isn't helping, quit trying to raise your post count.

To OP- I've seen many people run a single stock or slimline fan on the left side, and it fits with gt35r's. So I'm sure it would work. It will just be real tight.
 
Push fans are not near as efficient as pull fans when it comes to core cooling (of any sort).
 
For future reference, Autozone (O'rileys, Kragen? Depending where you live) sells universal S-blade fans for $60. They are very quiet and flow quite a bit more than the stock fans do. I picked one up that was about 2.5" thick to install behind my big T04E turbo, and it fit with some room to spare. It managed to cool my engine below operating temperature if left running while disconnected from the switch at night. It's a very affordable, quick and easy fix.
 
i might need to look into that also.. i need my engine fan.. for my 1g.. only have my AC fan.. so i have to roll with the ac on to keep the enigne cool.

i installed a unversail fan on a v6 mustang and it worked fine.but had to use zipties to hold it on. didnt match any holes to screw it down.

will i have to do the same here?
 
I just ordered a 12" slimfan from slowboy and held it to the radiator with radiator screws. Check out post #7 http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=190093&highlight=mounting+fans that should give you a good idea how to mount one. Make sure to get the fans as flush to the radiator as possible. What i did with my setup was kept the stock passenger side fan and installed the slimfan as a pusher. For this i had to remove the a/c core, but i never us the a/c anyways so no need for it.
