[urq] Intercooler Fan?

[Claus Vegener]

I'll let you know, when I have tried it in practice.
At front of a 034EFI radiator I have placed a huge IC.
At back 2 flat fans at 25 cm each programmed to start from an EGO of the 
034EFI IIc ECU.
Due to the close placement of the IC to the radiator, I place 2 25cm flat 
fans pushing at front of the IC,
depending on intake temperature and charge.
(A WR to AAN project with Garrett T035R turbo, special IM and EM)
I have noticed, that the "real" solution is to cut a hole in the roof and 
place the radiator in the trunk.
Next plan if  fans and waterinjecton or CO2 cooling don't help.
Hope to have an answer in December. Driwing to Spain from Denmark just now 
with 2 horses, 2 dogs but only one wife.
No - I use a Land Rover Discovery as puller for a 2600 kg horsetrailer.

BTW: sparewheels in the trunk? Use good tyres and drop the wheels at all.
