KA24E Fan Guard

[ALTRNTV]

could i take out the black shield covering the radiator fan without harming anything? bcuz i've seen alot of pics without it on, so i was wondering if that'll be ok, and will i gain any performance from it?

[TruSlide]

does it go all the way aroung the fan?
also on mine there are ome wires that are attatched to the fan guard:aw:

Performance gains? None... Extra room... Yes. Loose wires will find their way in way of your fan... not really worth it IMO unless your getting a Electric fan.

The guard is actually (nissan official description) designed to manipulate the flow of air from the fan towards the radiator....is it actually critical and necessary to accomplish this??? I dont think so, mine starting cracking at one of the supports and I might just yank it for safety reasons and go "guardless"........:rolleyes:

YES, the fan shroud is necessary to direct air through the radiator. Without the shroud you might as well remove the fan entirely because it's just swirling the air.
