I guess, it just clamps onto the radiator with top and bottom mounts. Also you can mount your stock overflow bottle to it as well. Then just run the wires to the temperature control box, I stuck mine were the stock airbox used to be.

dude just run no fan. when my hood flew open and destroyed my cowl, windshield and my roof, i ran without a hood for over a month, took it to work, school and all. The exhaust leak sounded like death taps without it, but while i waited for my flex a lite spacers i left the old fan and shroud off. My mangled hood i just threw behind a wawa cuz it was bent from coming open on me anyway and ran without a hood while waiting for my cowl hood to be delivered and a tarp for the rain only when it sat. My buddy and I took off the last piece of the mac fenderwell intake and made a forward facing funnel in the intake pipe the brand new oil funnel with the bottom half chopped and all modified haha 90 mph winds getting forced into a funnel angled slightly upwards so it sticks out and grabs more air was like a supercharger we swore up and down it felt faster under speed. lol we had just watched that leaf blower video on street fire dynoing 40 more horse in a civic or something like that and we just looked at each other and we made the funnel haha great times just had to share

i was just saying that because if hes having problems w/ it he could jsut try something cheap that is proven to work. not near as good as his black magic but ya. i think theres something more wrong than your fan IMO
