Engine Temp Cooling Methods Options

[p914]

Would 2 1000 cfs fans in the engine compartment mounted on the firewall aimed downward (not an extreme angle) and at the rear of the engine cool engine temps?

What other methods besides Nickys, Shrouds, Radiators are there?

The stock fan is only going to pull a certain amount of air.
Adding colder air would be the way to fix any issue.

You can add cooler air by adding a front mounted oil cooler, or possibly adding more side vents ala the boxster.

At the end of the day you have XXX amount of heat,so you need YYY amount of air that is cooler than that to dissapate the heat.
If you have enough air going by the heads, it does not need to be super cool, just a few degrees will enable a transfer.

The stock fan is limited in how much is can draw/push...so that is the limitation of volume.
Given the limitation of volume (and the design flaws in the stock system) you need a lower temp of air to enable more cooling.

Foley has created a new version of the top mounted fan which seems to keep his 2.0 liter race motor plenty cool on the track.
Ask him about some of the temp number...he has test data to prove his system is pretty good.
