dont chop the end of the fan blades its a big no no it will put the fan out of balance and f**k it up.. do what i did and buy a longer silicon hose and raise the pipe up

if you dont cut it straight... i cut mine so did every other person i know with a 33.. no biggie just popped it out and disk sanded it into a new custom shape haha... as long as its all symetrical you cant go wrong.

A friend of mine had one fitted at Autoworx.. they sell a full kit for $550 or supply and fit it for $990. he doesn't chop the fan like most installers do and does a really neat job cutting around the frontbar which is the most time consuming part of the job.. he has details on his website at http://www.autoworx.com.au/accessories.htm :spank:

Trust this guy! He's practically a doctor!

My fan wasn't cut during the install of a front mount.

forward facing plenum + electric thermo-fan FTW!

you shouldn't have to cut the blades, if you do, chances are the piping is going to be dodgy and cause other problems (the rolled lip isnt big enough and the cheap hose clamps either snap, or slip off the small rolled lips :blink:)

fan looks attached to the engine...belt or crank driven by the looks of it

there is 4x 8mm nuts holding it onto the pulley for the water pump. :happy:

unbolt it off there, and run a electric thermo-fan instead!

i just did that with mine.. just wating for the fan to arrive now.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
