intercooler fans

I, at the time could not afford a FMIC so decided to try something out. I had three old CPU fans laying around and made a bracket out of some metal from a local hardware store.(anything thin and light will work) I also had an old wire kit for a car stereo and used the inline fuse for a controled power supply. I added a 15 amp fuse so that i would not burn out the fan motors. and wired to a toggle inside the car. Bottom line not sure if i saw any real power gains, but the intercooler was deffinately cooler to the touch. I know its not that detailed but, if i can figure it out on my own, you can to.

Have fun guys,

Rance

was discussed before

concensus is that it would probably block airflow during high speeds... and a water sprayer would be more useful.

you can think all you want, but austin over on nasioc has data to prove it does NOT block airflow at speed, and helps immensely with heatsoak while stopped.
