Water To Air Intercooler Setup

[R31Nismoid]

What about some kind of high RPM thermo fan for the SMIC? Sit it behind so it's pulling reasonable amounts of air

A mate of mine had the same hot cooler issue with his old school GT4 celica in traffic.

Thats the 3SGTE with the factory top mount cooler.

He went nuts building a bigger scoop, & moving as much stuff from behind the cooler as he could to help move more air..

and it made a poofteeth difference.

I jammed a slim line davies craig fan on top of the cooler and hard wired it to his ign. That made a MASSIVE difference.

Stop start traffic didn't make stuff all difference to the car anymore, air was ALWAYS movong through the core!

Then we added a temp driven water sprayer infront of the fan to blow through the cooler.

That made the car jump up even further.

When we finally put a front mount onto the car, at the same 14psi boost, the car didn't go any faster through the gears, but it did go for much longer(you could pull the gears for heaps of traffic lights instead of 3 or 4)!

Now, your side mount cooler will have more free air flow and more room. Get the biggest fan onto the cooler you can fit. Its only a BIG band aid, but it does do wonders on stop start traffic.. even better on hot days.

thats my 3c worth anyhow! Hope it helps
