I ran a DE this weekend and the weather was hot, averaging high 80's to low 90's. By the end of a 20 minute session, the temperature guage was bumping right up to the red mark. A "parade lap" would quickly drop it back down.
I did a quick search on cooling and I ran across a link to BAT. They have a unit that mounts to the engine lid. Price seems reasonable and it might even be DIY. My car is 50/50 driver and DE. Anyone have any experience with this setup? Am I wasting time thinking about it and should I just go ahead and do a front mount? Thanks for comments. |

I put mine under the rear trunk...
If I wanted it to work good, I would have put it up front, but I didn't want to cut up the car, and I wanted to keep my stock front valence and front bumper. I have the Mocal thermo sandwich, and 19 row cooler, mounted above the pass side axle. It lowered temps a bit, but not as much as I would have hoped. In 90+ heat, and stop and go/highway driving, I will still see 235-240. I bought a real nice fan, I suspect that will help with another 10 degrees or so, but I have not installed it yet. So my advice is that if you don't mind the "look" up front is the way to go. Ferg |
