Wiring them backwards might work but the pitch of the fan blade is what matters. If I wired my flex a lites backwords they would move air but not enough new blades and problem solved.

ya i was kinda worried about that.... if they dont work good enought ill just break down and buy some pusher fans from summit.

ya, when i pulled my stock fans out i wired them backwards and they moved very little air. i couldnt see them moving enough air to keep it cool. your probably going to need some good pushers.

ok got curious and it was gonna bug me all night and i wasnt gonna be able to sleep so.... i went and grabed a fan and wired it up to cordless drill battery 18v lol. pulls awesome flip it around very little air...
I trimmed up the fan blade and tried everything and it just wont work without the blade being reversed also. and thats not really possible.... so im gonna have to buy a pusher fan.
nice build you also have to change ur plate to 1BAD 5.3
thanks.... ya i thought about that! My username also! LMAO....
I think ill just leave them for now.... i have other things to spend the money on besided new custom plates, depending on how the motor holds up and what it puts down i might change it eventually.
when you get this done you should really bring this bitch to Lincoln so i can see it up close and maybe take a ride....hopefully i won't be addicted to boost afterwards!
Got all the cold pipe done, mounted the trans cooler, got the dual catch cans setup, oil lines for turbo ran, radiator and fans mounted, all wiring done, boost guage installed, ect... ITS ALIVE AGAIN!
all i have left is to bleed the brake lines, 2nd walbro, 3 point SFC's, lca brackets, Downpipe, and tuning....
AND 1 problem to figure out! ---> I reversed the wires for the fans to run them backwards well they wont turn on! The car got way past the 160* turn on temp! I checked the DTC's with the scanner and it comes up with fan relay failure! WTF, reversing the wires shouldn't cause them to not work. i dont think...
didn't get pictures taken... got the fan problem figured out though.
After checking everything over and deciding to take it for an EASY (no boost) to the gas station well i get a block away to a stop sight and look in the mirrorand had a small trail for about 15ft!!!!!!! it was oil!!! the damn timing cover seal is leaking!!
So I have to tear the damn thing down again! This really pissed me off tonight! I just wanna sell it now, lmao....
I will get pictures sometime im just so pissed that i can look at it right now!
