Default Thick Dual Pass Rad + Intercooler Plumbing = No Room for Fan

I have a thick aluminum dual pass radiator and the UR FMIC. There isn't quite enough room for even the thinnest SPAL fan.

Anyone else with a similar setup have a creative solution? I prefer not to run a push fan on the front side of the radiator, but my options appear limited.

Thanks

Lots of times when you have a thicker aluminum fan you must cannot run the charge piping behind the radiator and you must run it through the side headlight holes.

I have a thick mishimoto aluminum radiator and two thick spal extreme performance fans. This leaves no room for charge pipping ebbing the radiator.

This is a better setup because you want to avoid running low flowing weak slim fans am much as possible.

you have alot of action going on under the hood. Time to revert back to an aftercooler. Its simpler and saves space for the other add ons.

Sticking with the FMIC.

My setup had a single more powerful fan.

This fit with the UR front mount for the comptech supercharger, but I had to get a longer coupler where they crossed the fan, otherwise it wouldn't fit.

Any pics installed? How thick is the radiator core? What's the model number on the fan?

Thanks
