Taurus fan mounting?

[Divergent Lightning]

I did a search and I could not come up with anything solid.

How are the guys that have the taurus fan mounting it on the radiator? Pictures?

This is one of the main reasons I went with the Ramchargers fan. There was no good looking way to mount that fan to our radiator IMO.

I thought I saw a picture of one that somebody had mounted behind the stock fan shroud?

Yeah there is a pic of it.. I remember it but don't have it... I would also like some info/pics of it mounted if possible

You can mount it behind the stock shroud with very little trimming, if any. I thought about it, but I hated the shrouds, so I got rid of them

I have one mounted on my S10, and it's held on with a bolt through the top of the radiator......Not the finned area, that top little lip you see when you have the shroud off......there was already a hole there, that matched up to a hole on the Taurus fan.....Put a small botl though it, and a small nut and lockwasher on the back, and I was set to go. I also drilled a small hole in the bottom corner of the shroud on each side. Ran a zip-tie through that, and through a small hole I drilled on the lower radiator "shelf" keeps it from flapping, and works like a champ.....been that way for 3+ years now, and hasn't come off even with some pretty serious loading while autocrossing.

That sounds like a winner to me, any pictures of it?

Shrouds are ugly but they do their job. The direct airflow so you get much better airflow using one than w/o. Here's my setup:

MotorMouth had done this before I bought it from him so I can't give any details on the install.

Yeah I understand they have their purpose.

But with the ramchargers fan, it has a full shroud that covers the entire surface of the radiator and does a very fine job by itself. I wouldn't just put a fan on the radiator with no shrouding......that's not very efficient IMO.

The Taurus fan has reasonable shrouding, but doesn't cover the entire surface of the radiator, which is why the RC fan was killer.

Here's a pic of the coverage (I moved it up to cover that last 1/2" that was exposed before I secured it.)

Okay, I didn't realize what you were talking about had a shroud. It sounded like you were saying to mount the fan sans shroud and that's what I was talking about. We're on the same page then.

Yeah I reread it and it does look like that......... LOL

Sorry for the confusion
