So, bought this clutch fan off a local forum.

Seller stated "s13 sr20 clutch fan."

Well, problem is it hits the crank pulley and powersteering belt when I tried to put it on. Only way it didn't hit was if I left the nuts on the water pump pulley, but of course that wouldn't work.

Pics. Please don't worry about how dirty my engine is, I know.

First without fan.

Not all the way on the water pump pulley and hitting the crankshaft pulley.

Clearance with the pulley nuts still on.

So, any ideas for what is going on here?

Only thing that comes to mind is that I somehow have received a KA clutch fan by mistake...

Thanks.

EDIT: Heres a pic of the fan itself. I'm thinking this is a KA fan since it doesn't have any offset blades...

I'm almost certain I've mixed and match KA/SR fan with no issues before. I would double check the clutch itself if it's the right piece.

Well, with the searching I did before making this thread, everyone said that they are not interchangeable.

I just remembered that there were offset difference between the both of them and had to use spacer to make it work temporarily. I guess just return if you can and just get the SR. GL!
