1. [TR] Push or Pull (score: 1): Author: DLylis@aol.com; Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 07:00:31 EDT; I am going to eliminate my fan on my 3A and install a 12" electric fan. Opinions have been offered as to push or pull. Surprisingly, a common one is to install as a pull because as a push the fan blo; /html/triumphs/2007-10/msg00454.html (7,775 bytes)

Re: [TR] Push or Pull (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 08:16:55 EDT; If you are going to mount the fan right up against the radiator then I agree with your assessment. But better results are achieved by spacing the fan a bit away from the radiator. This allows the air; /html/triumphs/2007-10/msg00458.html (8,755 bytes)

You can generally make a pusher type work well enough. If you are determined that is the route you wish to take, go for it. You've got a; /html/triumphs/2007-10/msg00459.html (7,852 bytes)

However, the improvement in airflow with an electric fan, particularly when a car is at a standstill - wh; /html/triumphs/2007-10/msg00463.html (9,007 bytes)

With a puller on my TR250 I can get away with a 1200 cfm fan, using a pusher I need 2100 cfm.
