Well ive just upgraded the turbo on my 89 colt gt to a pte5557 with an FP manifold. I CAN fit the stock radiator in with about 1 inch of clearance between the wg actuator and the radiator core itself. Ive got a solid front motor mount to keep things planted so all is good there.
However the problem im running into as you can all guess is the radiator fan situation. Ive still got A/C on the car and would like to keep it. Just curious if you guys think it'll be possible to use the stock radiator with two 11 inch pushers on the front of the ac condenser sealed to the radiator with some sort of foam or weatherstripping of some sort to make it as efficient as possible.
I Figure i can ditch the wiring for the ac fan and just hotwire both pushers to be on constantly with the key on, and this doubles for cooling the condenser for the a/c. Another thing to note is that there is a FMIC on the car...
Here is what i was looking at for two pusher fans. These seem to be the largest i can go with based on the measurements ive taken

Both are spal fans that push 970cfm supposedly which isnt bad. 1940 cfm total but im sure it'll be less than that. more like 1500-1600 total all said and done probably..
Any suggestions? Id like to do this once and right so i dont have to re-visit the issue.
Edit: Another thing to add... gets to about 105-108 here in the summer in texas where im at so a/c is a must and it'll be for sure...
