So,many of yall know iv been in the process of re doing/making a new turbo setup.Iv had all the parts for over 3 months now sitting in my living room.Then bought a 95 civic hatch and been playing with that for the past month...so Figured I pay attention to the accord this weekend and upgraded its cooling system for now..;)
*question,does it matter if its set up "pull" or "push" on the fans? I matched the colors on wires and it seems like the fans are "pushing" air and shooting it back towards the engine..so easy speak;the fans are blowing air towards the engine and not into/towards the radiator.ha

They dont,its for a 94-97 accord and preludes..but direct fit,other than sits 1 1/2 lower than stock,so modified radiator stays need to be made.I bought EG civic purple stays but didnt feel like messing with them.so bolted in stock ones for now and bent them down enough to hold it secure.

Nice set-up. And to answer your question. The fans should be pulling air through the radiator so that when your not moving air is still flowing through the fins to cool the motor.

I didnt change any temperature related items,such as fan switches ect..but I am running at 180degrees on my autometer water temp gauge.its about 5degrees lower now.
Thanks guys,Yea I figured Mishimoto would have it set up properly out of the box.

Didn't know you could run a turbo without an intercooler. Learned something new today.

Edit, nvm just saw the IC in your sig pic. Didnt see it from the top of the bay in the pics you posted.

i think you could anyway, with low boost.

anyway, that thing looks really nice. it's one of those things i would do just to do it. i know it doesn't do much for performance but it's one of those things where you can be proud of. good job.
