Is anyone know if the orginal fan is blowing out or sucking in?
So if i fit the fan behind the radiator, should i reverse the fan action as well?

If the fan is in front of the rad it blows if it's behind it sucks that's what I understand my hi flow motorsport fan sucks and that's on the back.

When mounting the fan John, have it sucking air through the radiator. Otherwise, it will blow hot engine air onto it.

Just test it first, work out which wire is which. Then splice into the correct wire.
