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? |

So as I was driving today I thought about my front air dam. It has 2 holes on each side that I can attach ducting. Then run the ducting to the engine compartment for forced air cooling. There's also a rectangle in the middle that can be cut (typically for an oil cooler) and I thought maybe run some ducting straight back from it to the compartment. Once either ducting hits the compartment it gets routed to run the air stream over each head section.
Ideas? |
