Wow these parts don't come cheap...
No. No they don't. But, aside from my career, and being a solo parent, I seldom splurge on "stuff." These CF parts, however, made me
too but probably do other things first
That's actually NOT the chrome exterior option. The scuttles are a light gray color, and may look like chrome in the pics. I did go for the chrome INterior option however.
The Details
Hey Frstrtdmac,
The fan is from I-O Port racing. It is originally designed for a cool shirt set up for racing. I was having really high under hood temps coming off of the autocross course and was able to get more cool air to the filter using the fan. I put it in the middle of the fresh air pipe that fed the original filter. It blows fresh air across the maniflold and to the filter. Set up on a toggle on the dash so it can run when the car is on or off. I removed the pipe, cut out the center ribbed section, and used hose clamps on either side of the fan. I wired it straight to the battery with a fuse and switch on the negative side. PM me if you want photos. Was going to do a DIY but I'm not sure that anyone is willing to do this for a simple daily driver. Been logging temps with my g-1 cable and iPad and temps are down 5 deg in city traffic in Las Vegas. 2 Degrees off of ambient. Butt dyno says that its quicker after sitting at a stop light for a few minutes baking in the sun, but you know the accuracy of that.
Sorry it took so long to respond, I have a 3 month old daughter and trying to get Geoffrey dialed and beautiful for AMVIV this week.
