Not really going to work. According to FAL's site (and on FR Sports site) the 140 series fan is designed to be used as a pusher fan. That won't do much unless you mount it in front of the rad like the factory condeser fan. The 120 model is a puller fan meant to be mounted behind the rad, like the clutch fan. IMO, I prefer dual fans, such as the FAL 220 or something like Altima/Sentra fans, as I don't really think these cars can have too much cooling, especially if you live in a hot climate and use AC.

FAL systems suck ass. use google and search about the radiator/fan comparison. The FAL system while being the most expensive rated near the cooling ability of the stock clutch fan.

FAL fans are out performed by stock Nissan Altima fans. Also, they are not of as nice quality as stock OE fans. Basically they do suck. I think that for the money there are alot better options. They are not what I would buy with my money. You can check out the fan data on my radiator test page here (http://home.satx.rr.com/nissanweb/RadTest/RadTest.htm) for a comparison to other popular fans.

You guys think the FLX-119 would fit in front? (between the intercooler & radiator)
