Hi I searched and checked under FAQ but couldn't find an answer.
I bought some mishimoto slim line aftermarket fans. I have a EVO III 16g and the top heat shield over exhaust manifold.
1st question: push pull combo is best, but right now the fan is pushing air towards the radiator so pulling air from in front of the exhaust manifold andpulling by the intake side. Should the fan be blowing air towards the exhaust manifold instead of pulling that air towards the radiator?
How have you positioned yours? I had a shop install and wire them for me but my engine bay is always burning hot ( more than other Turbo bays I've owned) and it almost overheated on me twice today.
2nd question: how else to keep temps down? The bay is so hot I am worried about it. I installed a carbon fiber vent to get the radiator some air as the intercooler blocks the bottom bumper opening, but any other advice would be welcomed. Thanks in advance!
