Half rad + turbo + A/C = overheating issues?
 
I've done some research not a lot though and I'm deciding to go with a half rad on my turbo teg. I want to be able to keep my A/C and not have any overheating issues. Now I know the fans can be mounted up two was as either a push or a pull. I was just wondering will i get some overheating issues if i use two fans as a push and one as a pull, while trying to retain my A/C? Or maybe two will work just as fine?

Fan configuration usually does not matter, it's usually a space issue that necessitates push/pull. As long as you go with a decent aftermarket rad (Koyo, Fluidyne) you should be fine.

As long as you have a strong fan and a proper shroud to direct the air you should be fine

It is my experience that keeping AC on turbo Honda's is a waste of time. While the clutch for the compressor can disengage, the extra torque and the high revolutions bouncing off the rev limiter almost always destroy compressors rather quickly.

I'm not really gonna bounce the limiter a lot maybe 4/5 times a week. It's also my daily.
