I put A/C in my M715. The fan I put in front of the condenser is anemic and has a 1/2" gap from the blades to the housing, losing a ton of efficiency. I have a Taurus fan cooling the radiator and it moves tons more air. Unfortunately I would have to run it in reverse, or flip it around, which would make it very bulky.

So, is there a reverse rotation Taurus fan, or a good 14" diameter puller fan I out there?

Thanks.
 
Are you running the Taurus fan on high? If so it should be moving more than enough air for the rad and ac.
 
Thank you guys.

My problem is that I have the condenser, intercooler and radiator, so the Taurus fan on the other end is just cooling the radiator.

I'll try powering the Taurus fan in reverse. Maybe it does well enough.

I believe that the blades are different on a reverse rotation fan if so it will be moving even less air in reverse.

This is the truth.
Thanks for not mentioning you had an intercooler. That changes things a shit ton.
 
I'm lost.
What makes your setup special that the main fan (The taurus fan) can not cool off the condenser?
From the factory, fans have to pull though the radiator and intercooler to cool off the condenser.
If you're sitting in traffic with no air flow, a pusher fan on a condenser was always a good trick to help move more air across it, but your main fan needs to be turned on when the A/C is switched on.

Lots of gaps between condenser, intercooler and radiator. Much easier to add a fan up front than to fix those.
