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.
