Can I remove the efan? It came on the models that had AC (read on aaron cakes site on the Na->turbo section) and my AC has long been gone..im trying to mount my stock T2 front mount like aaron did, but im having trouble fitting it.. And i think i have excessive **** in the way, including the fan.. IM not sure what i can cut out of way etc.. any help would be nice

 

you can remove the efan if you don't have the A/C anymore.

 

Thank you

 

isn't it connected to the a/c condenser? if so you might as well remove the whole thing, condenser and all, if you haven't already.

 

I'm sure he has all that stuff removed already.

 

I was looking at the fan when I pulled it out of my car and decided to throw it back in and control it with my haltech just for extra flow for now. It seems like it is a pretty decent power fan, ever think about wiring it as an intercooler fan?

 

holy crap, thats a good idea! thanks. Should i pull air through the IC, or push?

 

you shouldn't have any say in that. It's a pusher fan for the AC so you are probably going to want to use it as a pusher unless you can wire it backwards and have it spin the other way. Not sure if you could get away with that.

 

couldnt you just mount the fan differently?

 

I don't believe the stock fan works reverse polarity.

 

No, it's bolted to the chassis (3 bolts).

That's how it works stock, and it does so completely independantly of the ECU. There's a temp switch on the filler neck (S4) or water pump (S5) that switches it on at ~205degF to provide additional cooling if it's needed. It didn't need to be connected to the Haltech.

Personally I'd leave the auxiliary electric fan exactly as it is even if the A/C is removed. It's free additional cooling that you might one day wish you still had, particularly with a FMIC. If the A/C condensor is removed then you could try to remount the fan further back towards the radiator to make room for the FMIC.
