IF U would install the newest subie flat 6,and if it was short enough to mount a radiator in engine bay,..could you use boxster (scouped) side vents and duct work to vent air in front of the RAD and have fans that pull air thru from the back,..?? If u used a very wide radiator ???? just spit ballin,..Frank

You could do anything that is within your skill set or wallet...
Boxster's have a radiator in the front for a reason. You will get poor heat exchange in the engine bay. |

I think one of the new Lambos has the radiators in the back in between the tail lights.
Getting the hot air out is usually harder than getting the air in. |

Yea,...maybe someday,.for the boxster,...I thought if you could vent air in ,..But that's not a lot of air passing thru if it has to be ducted to the engine bay,then push it thru the rads.....Thats why I said spitballin,...LOL...Thanks Frank

I think porsche them selfs does it best
2 split ,redundant system radiator s In corners of front air dam Adaptable to in theory any car with a front valance Did porsche invent this because I have seen very few with this setup But i know no more huge radiator in front = less so called frontal area So i think all cars should go to the twin style but also one of those 911 quirks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

There has been one Scooby setup with the radiator in front of the engine, in the engine bay. I believe that it drew air from under the car.
There's a thread or two on here about it; it might take some searching to turn up the photos. --DD |
