Hi ..
well that's discouraging.
I installed his syncro kit, with fan.
I also asked him why he puts it on the right side , since the oil lines come
off the engine on the left side.
He said he only wanted to make one version ..
to fit 2WD 1.9, or 2WD 2.1 , or syncro.
And your van of course has your ecu on the left...
evidently he feels that a syncro might be slogging up a steep off road hill,
and could use the fan,
but one is not needed so much in a 2WD vanagon .

check out motorcycles where you see them..
or online at motorcycle junkyards.
it's often about the same size fan.
Scott
