I know theres a few people on this site that have turboed their car and in doing so got rid of a fan to make more room. Well, if I remember correctly someone told me to take the big fan out and move the small one over to where the big one was. Well how would I do this? The bolt holes do not even remotely line up. If any of you could tell me how to do this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

that might be something I look into eventually, but for now this route will do. It shoudnt be a problem; I know that viper966 ran the same way I want to for a whole summer with almost 300whp, and I wont even get close to that. Alex01tib has the same setup as well with no problems

Ok here you can see that i have one fan on the right, its the fan from the left, using the harness from the left wired into the wires from the right. So it comes on when the engine gets warm like it should. I managed to get one or two actual screws in, to secure it further, you can use a custom mount drilled into the fan plastic that allows a bolt to affix the fan in the stock bolt holes. Or, you can just use some cable ties if your in a bind and cant make custom mounts at the moment, but youll never win anything at a show with zipties lol
Disclaimer: my zip ties have been removed as it was only temporary cool.gif
