Im fairly new to my 1995 993 and think my fan bearing may need to be replaced. I have the RS pulley conversion and am curious if the fan bearing changed as part of that. From what I can search, it is the same bearing as the stock part but wanted to double check. Any insight of the group is helpful

Thanks

Brian,
The RS pulley conversion does away with the fan hub bearing and uses a machined aluminum hub that ties the fan & alternator together.

Maybe you're referring to the updated pulleys instead?

This is what the RS conversion looks like:

^ A 'micro' fuse (~3/8" wide) makes a perfect jumper.

Apologies as I described the part wrong. I'm referring to the bearing behind the fan that slides onto the alternator shaft.

The fan hub/bearing is available by itself. You press the old one out of the fan and and either press or pull (with bolts) the new one in.

To tell you the truth can't really tell the difference between the two. If your going to race the car there may be a small advantage. My concern was looking at the idiot light due to the slight RPM change. Another waste of money on things nice to have but not necessary.

Really not a good idea if you have a lot of electrical requirements.

Running a sound system, power seats, A/C, power windows, sun roof, heater blower, high power lighting mods, cigarette lighter powered devices, etc. do not mix well with a reduced changing capacity.
