lol a lot of surface area is being covered by the fans themselves. turning on the fans may compensate for that loss but i highly doubt that. also, the air velocity entering the intercooler from the hood scoop is probably greater than the air velocity created by the fans, unless they are super high power fans. so yeah, the fans are futile at best, probably doing more harm than good.

I'll have to agree with Johnny. Unless those fans can blow at super high speed, it's probably more of an obstruction.

Haha,

Thats old school... That's Lloyd's car. Lloyd Crabtree. He is one of the oldest i-Club members. He was one of the first people to use Minnam turbo kit for the 2.5RS. That picture was taken at the 2nd Annual Vegas Subaru Meet.

This brings tears to my eyes...
