Default Pusher fan for an S4

My Murf S3 gets a wee bit to warm in traffic for my liking.
Does anyone know of a fan that fits good with minimal chop/cut/rebuild?
I am going to be moving the heat exchanger to the fender with its own fan, so the bigger pusher fan the better.

There are certainly easy options. I thought the Murf S3 came with one. Are you looking for a better one? My S1 came with one, but I still run a little warm.

Ironically, a guy with a 78 Euro showed up for our local beer night tonight. The only mods he had on his car were a radiator and additional pusher fan. Not sure of the brand, but it did have German warning labels. It was a little thicker than mine and looked like it might push more air.

Nope, doesn't come with one. Do you have a picture or part number?

All 78-86 have a front pusher fan and an single belt driven viscous clutch fan as a puller. The dual electric fan S-4 > did not need one in front ...

So, in theory you could get a OB pusher fan and mount it in there. Not sure they do that much. I tried taking off the viscious fan and just running the pusher fan on mine and it was not enough.

Thats to be expected..but..a pusher with the puller fans, will help total flow thru the core.

Just..gotta quantify the results against the costs.

Yeah, I didn't expect much, but I deleted my air pump so did not have a belt to fit the viscous fan, so I gave it a try. Next will be a set of Coutour pullers in place of the viscous fan. Got make room for the blower.

Mine does now, the four little puller fans can't compete with SW Florida heat and blower combo.
The S4 has the holes to mount the S3 fan but the a/c high side fitting might be in the way.

I don't have any handy, but I can get it tonight. The install was crazy easy, just a fee zip tie like fasteners.

I did find a photo of the box before install:

From Summit Racing
DER-16516
Perfect fit and yes it should have been included in the kit.
I just looked at my order history with Summit and I do not see me shipping you one. Must have fumbled the order process, sorry.
I'll give you a call later today. Gotta go to work right now.
