Thanks Guys, some interesting answers, not what I was expecting
. It makes sence what some of you are saying though. Its like trying to blow air through a straw and having it blocked on one end, doesnt make a whole lot of sence I guess. It seems like it would trap a lot of hot air but I could be wrong.
Most of the guys out this way run the duel fan system that sits on the top. Its pretty nice, its just not in my budget to get. In hearing great things about this new engine cooler I may just wait and get that setup someday instead.
As of right now I have a bottom end oil cooler with a fan (the brand name escapes me at the momenmt), an air duct in the hood pointed at the rear two cylinders along with the hose on the bumper that I mensioned in the above post.
I have done a little reading about engine cooling. Insteresting stuff, one guy mounted a buildge pump fan to the firewall to blow air across the back of the motor. My stepdad had one of these 4 inch fans. I eneded up installing that on the car as well. It works pretty well although I do question the load it puts on the system. Its a powerful little fan that uses a 10 amp fuse recomended by the mfg.
The car came with an engine oil temp and oil preasure gauge. I know many dont run these gausges but can anyone tell me what a good oil temp range is? What should I be seeing?
Thanks all!
Eric
