It certainly sounds like a good theory. Maybe I need to change my thinking. 
For now, I'm trying to keep any permanent mods to a minimum and as cheap as possible, so new fans may have to wait for phase three. I'm shooting for lower air temps on general principles, not any HP/MPG gains.
I was going to track down some insulation today, but Real Life intruded. I've been posting between chores. I have new front brake rotors now - got some mud in the grooves in one of the pads and it was starting to eat up one of the rotors. Replaced the other rotor "just because". |
that sucks but i like the way you think, did you go to slotted rotors or stick with stock?
aside from that maybe even an oil cooler might help cut down radiator temps as well, cooler oil means cooler coolant in radiator which means cooler temps, again that is just a theory based off logic
also you might be able to modify the air box itself and relocate it to behind the wheel wells or something, that should allow the box itself to suck in cool air at all times even when not moving but im not sure how temps would be at the MAF or even the pipes before the MAF, heck you might be able to do that with some flexible plumbing hoses from home depot or something and a few hose clamps and scrap metal to use as brackets
