Right, you'll have to either wire up spade connectors to the mishi fans to use the OEM plugs or splice directly into the lines.

 

Does it matter which way they are hooked up? I.E. Pos and Neg, will it spin backwards if I get them mixed up?

 

Yeah, which wire goes to what? I'd like to know also since mine will be here tomorrow and it may not have instructions.

 

Spoolin, it was kinda obvious when the fans got here. LOL.

The blue wire from the fan plugs into the connector where the blue wire is, and the black wire from the fan plugs into the connector where the black wire is. Also, my shroud's bottome 2 tabs do not line up at all... kinda pissed about that, but whatever, they'll stay still with the two top bolts and it touching my charge pipe.

These things are crazy good. They came on at 195* and brought my temps to 178*. This was at idle. It took a looooong time to get to that temp sitting still.

The bad thing about them is that they hit my charge piping still. LAME, but they work really well and only touch in one spot where the stock fans on the mishimoto radiator were touching everywhere.

 

These look good. It would be nice if you could order the radiator with the bosses on the opposite side so they could be used as pushers.Plus they would be hidden.

 

Thanks AFs2k.

I actually like it the way its designed. This way it covers the radiator fins so they wont get damaged and also if you have a few of the fins that have been ever so slightly touched and pushed over, you wont see it anymore.

 

I just got the Mishimoto fan shroud on and there is less room for my intercooler piping that goes to the intake manifold with the slim fans than with the stock fans. My coupler hits the fan casing a little and and is pushing on it some but I think it'll be ok. I had to tweak some things to keep the hit down to a minimum. It sucks but I think I got it to fit ok without too much hit on the fan. I wish the Mishimoto fan shroud was about 1/4" thinner and this wouldnt happen. Oh well, it still works and looks really good.

Does anyone know where I can get some aftermarket Koyo radiator stays? The billet type that are flat and bolt to the top part of the radiator to hold it down.

 

You guys kill me with your fancy pants stuff sometimes, lol.

I simply went to autozone, and bought 1 of their slim fans, ~ 50 bucks I think, or get 2 if you are a baller.

Threw it on there, keeping my stock fan on the pass side, I only had to swap the drivers side fan b/c my i/c pipe was hitting the oem shroud.

My temps w/my Mishi radiator stay 180-190, and if it happens to hit 200, the fan kicks on and in 15-20 seconds it's back down to 190.

No worries here.

 

We like being baller. LOL

 

That's pretty good deal.
