Quick question, which way should the fan be (push and pull type fan) when in front of radiator for pushing air??
Going to stick with the cheap ebay one until i get a spal.

its a legend, it runs a xjr1250 bike engine air and oil cooled... and fyi a normal main beam headlight bulb is 60W... there normally 55/60... and it works really well was very impressed over this year with it, just kept the car running at a sensible oil temperature stops it skyrocketing as they normally do

alot of people say pull. but tbh i dont really think it matters, the pull fans look better from the outside

If the fan is mounted infront of the radiator it should push air, so the airflow when stood stationary goes from outside the car and is pushed through the radiator towards the engine
Outside (cool air) -> fan -> Radiator -> engine
If done the other way round, you will be pulling hot air from the engine through the rad which won't help the cooling process as much

That depends how you set the fan up josh
My fan is set to suck air through the rad into the bay not blow the hot air out
Setting it to blow out could stall the air when your moving forward or just load up the motor in the fan shitloads

Yeah that's fine, because your sucking cold air from the outside through the rad, same situation as having the fan infront.
Fan shouldn't be on while you drive along normally anyway tbh, so shouldn't be an issue of loading or stalling, even after 20mins on track the fan on mine doesn't need to come on, so unless your running mega boosted power I doubt it would be on

How do i kmow its the correct way? Which way should the blades be?
I know how i had it previously was in front of the rad but it got very hot so i may of had it wrong way so just want to be sure it is on the right way before refitting.

Best way to check is to give the motor some power and see which way it's spinning, and then work out from the style of blade to see which way it's moving the air

I did say a BIG h/lamp bulb
I can supply you 80/100w bulbs and is a common conversion for cars with poor lighting to upgrade from std bulbs
