pusher fans in front of intercooler

would 2 puller fans in front of a frontmount be worth it? they look pretty cool but they look like they would block flow.

They would work more efficiently behind the IC, pulling air through it, instead of pushing air.

Regardless, they more than likely won't be needed, with proper radiator/FMIC ducting.

Maybe not, but it DOES look cool.

I want those headlights too.

If you were sitting still, sure they'd help, but while you're moving what's the point? The force of the wind while you're driving is sufficient. Unless of course you're racing in reverse

sorry i meant pusher fans

I think a fmic halo spraying nos on the IC or an IC mister would make a much bigger difference. At high speeds, those fans are just going to restrict airflow

 

[marcmsj]

only place that it would make a difference is on a dyno...

Why would they help while sitting still? I dont know any people that can heatsoak a fmic while sitting still. Even if on stutter box or brake boosting an auto, you wont build enough boost to heatsoak it. If you are on the dyno, it will help but I myself just use a carpet dryer type fan for dyno. Like has already been said, it is just a restriction once you start moving.

whats up with the dude in the picture with the upside down visor?

Its not heatsoaking the IC that is the problem, its the radiator not getting enough air , which leads to a overheated engine.. but yeah kinda useless if you can set up your IC and radiator right

Yeah, those fans would work better pulling from the back. Then again, fans arent needed with an efficient intercooler.....

PS- That front bumper is beautiful. I sure wish someone was making/modifying them like that.

that car is beautiful from the front. Molded foglights, and are those projector housings in the headlights?

anyone have more pics of that car?
