Ok here goes, can anyone tell me is it possible to reverse the rotation of the cooling fan. I was thinking this because I rode on a rocket ship, n I came up with the rocket scientist notion of hmmm, what if I can pull in cooler ambient air across the radiator ( 80-90 degrees ) vs 170 or higher under hood temperature that's typical under hood temp for a mini. if possible this would be real cool so to speak. anyone ? |

When the car is moving the engine bay is at a high air pressure and the wings are at a low pressure so air will naturally get pulled through
Yes i moved to the darkside |

I agree that it is not an improvement, but the fan can be changed to pull instead of push. You would need a totally new fan with the blades at a different angle, but it could be done.

Short answer, NO. The mechanical fan cannot be reversed. Edited by Ben H on 29th Aug, 2013. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Lets apply rocket science for a moment.. the idea is a bit like a rocket taking off getting 30ft of ground flipping and nose diving into the ground....
