Integra Dual Electric Fans

I was helping my friend work on his '90 acura integra and noticed that it had dual electric fans. Does anyone know whether or not these would fit in my SA? I searched, but could not find anyone who has done it. Thanks in advance.

Go ahead and bring a tape measure over to his car next time, and find out.

I may be looking into getting one myself.

The biggest issue you will run into is DEPTH, how far off of the radiator does the fan sit? i THINK that you have about 4 or 4.5" max btwn the radiator and the e-shaft pully.

i could measure tomorrow (maybe, depending on snow), the dimensions of the stock space.

Thanks Iotus. If I go over tomorrow I will definately measure it. I couldn't see very well, but the fans appeared for be pretty close to the radiator. I will try to get a better look next time.

With a 3 core rad that the 79 and 80's rex's have you have about 3 3/4" to 4" of clearence between the rad and the water pump pully.

What's wrong with a pusher fan in front of the radiator?

Then you get the fan out of the engine compartment and have no thickness issues. i can't put mine there because of A/C condensor/intercooler but most people can.

Thanks guys. I will definately measure it soon. Kehoe, since most people tend to reccomend puller fans, I would rather do that. Some people say that pusher fans don't cool as well. Thanks for your help.
