76240, my new cooling setup....maybe?
Posted by redeclipset, Jun-17-04 05:38 AM
Im thinking about getting a whole cooling setup in my car. I just went turbo and everything and just want everything to be cool. I'm thinking about getting an 8" by 11" oil and tranny cooler with fans. Planning on mounting them on the sides where side mount intercoolers are. Also i have a gap between my intercooler and my radatior and im thinking about putting 2 extra fans in there. Would that help with cooling at all?? Is there anything else i should get??

I don't know about the fans between the FMIC and the radiator. When the car is moving at speed, the fans would be more of a blockage to the radiator and AC condenser and cause more problems than they solve. You might consider maybe cutting small vents into the front of the bumper skin and then ducting that air down between the FMIC and radiator to help cool the air hitting the radiator after it has passed through the FMIC. :shrug

No thats about it, but thats not bad at all. If you need more cooling then that then theres something wrong or your car is not to be street driven.

Even the stock system should be enough for some mild boost.

I think what you need to also work on is keeping the heat where it will do the WORK . Like in the combustion chamber and in the exhaust.
