Thermal Fan Removed

[letemlaf]

i have just had a fmic installed and the thermal fan had to be removed to fit the cooler. it doesnt seem to make any difference to the engine temp so far but im wondering when summer hits hard again will i be in some trouble?

im guessing its more so for idling at traffic lights etc for extended periods.

If need be i can trim the fan itself im sure and remount it, otherwise are there smaller fans available and what sorta money are we talking?

ummm..i'd be trimming the fan blades just like everyone else does...i cant see removing it being good for the car in any way!

when i did the front mount intercooler on mine we just trimed the blades back. It was one of the hybrid intercooler kits. Heres a few pics of the fan blades trimmed. Hope this helps you out abit.

Doesnt he mean the thermo fan on the A/C condensor?

You dont need to remove it, infact i would advise against it. There is a small peice of plastic that needs to be trimmed.
