Sorry, I meant upright 911 setup, horizontal with a 911 fan is my choice. The fan is a 11 blade out of a 3.2 Carrera, fan pulley size is standard 911 and on the crank side is a type one power pulley, can`t remember the size. Also, the one I`m gonna use is with one of my mates at the moment as he wants to copy it. I`ll post the size as soon as I get it back. There`s a bit more work involved to make up the parts for this fan setup but it`s really not that complicated. The most work goes into the shrouds as each side is made of two pieces, inner air deflector and outer shroud.

I am wondering how much horsepower these fans really suck from the engine. Would there be any problems with turning the fan down as i would think that the thrust loads would be great.

Never worried about thrust load, never had any issues nor heard of. However if a bearing fails replace it and keep driving. I think Alex did an article about these fans a while back, should still be somewhere. There are different diameter fans available as you know and it sure is possible to turn the fanblade down, however you`ve got to be careful when turning them down as the blades are very brittle and can break off easily
