It requires a different alternator bracket with it and this doesn’t work with AC. Cheers Bennie This will work on a hatchback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Water pump pulley, IIRC. Pic when I get home from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknownjeremiah Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I’m debating about buying this fan motor and hoping it’s the right one from the Subaru parts store in Tacoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, definitely without AC. @carfreak85 - The turbo one won’t fit as that is based on the EA82 setup. The EA81 doesn’t have the ability to bolt anything to the water pump pulley. I’m starting to think this fan was an Australian only thing - but I find that hard to believe. ^ This is what I’m talking about. Mover here, if you’ve got AC fitted this fan is removed for a second electric fan that’s run by the AC wiring loom. Here’s a pic of the stock electric fan with the AC (top unit): If you can’t find a mechanical fan, I’d be using all of that available space for a larger thermo fan or two smaller units. I’ve got 2x 12 inch on my L series from memory - these cool the EJ just fine, so cooling the little EA81 would be a breeze.

Unknownjeremiah Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 All the fans I can find seem to be mounted through the core and made of plastic. I would love to have both fans on there. But like I said, I might just have to spend all that money on a new fan motor from Subaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
