Any suggestions/pictures of oil cooler setups/postitions? Anyone using electric fans or 3.2L Carrera type setup in the fender well with small radiator/shroud and fan?
If I buy the track car I am looking at the only mechanical issue that needs to be addressed is an oil cooler. Thanks |

Rich is correct. At 5 MPH the airspeed will exceed whatever the fan is capable of. Above that the fan is an obstruction to airflow, and you can overspeed the fan bearings.
Perhaps the engine oil cooler can handle the idle conditions while the oil cooler in the nose can handle the high speed conditions. Much like carbs with idle and full throttle circuits. |
