All fans on almost any cars always pull air in to move air through the radiator fins to cool off coolant and to the front of the motor where the belts are if the car is not moving for air to move through the radiator and in the engine bay.
On a FWD car the engine is sideways on most makes so belts usually always last a lot less.

I actually have a mod in mind to take heat out of the engine bay using 2 fans in the lower engine cover to pull hot air out.

The conversion is going to cost a bit. The best thing you can do is buy an OEM shroud and fans and there was a few on my350z and here for sale. You can also buy a custom shroud and fans from GTM. There is also some electrical work that needs to be done I believe.

not hating or anything or saying you are wrong. but an e fan conversion is actually really easy on ANY vehicle. people on here seem to think that its this huge process. i can do it all for under 20 dollars (not including the ls1 fans that i already have) and it would take me about 30 minutes to do it all

Didn't know. I said it might cost a bit because I heard everyone say about $300 or more.

yea i dont understand why people spend that much on an efan conversion. its completely pointless. as long as you have fans that can produce enough you can easily do it for a lot cheaper. im just trying to figure out what the stock fans produce so i can figure out if my ls1 fans are going to be enough.
