lol, no offence, but apparently you dont know a super lot about computers... www.newegg.com will be your favorite web-site and id suggest a 120 mm fan at least, and if you can handel the depth, a scythe like this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185054
would work just awesome
i use that fan on the back of my case ( i built my comp)
and even though its loud, most normal high-speed high performance fans only pust ~80cfm of air a min, but that one does over 130 cfm
if something smaller is needed, newegg probably has it, and you can search for almost anything by any parameters if you hit the power search button in the left hand colum once you go to the case fans section (top bar, computer hardware -> fans and heatsinks -> case fans -> power search.
also, im snot sure anyone here could get their hands on it, but id be interested to seee what a fine mist in a very short burst of liquid nitrogen to an intercooler would do. will cool a computer chip that air cooled with the best air cooling and heatsingks on the market would run well over 160 degrees f to -180 degrees..., but thats a continuous bathing.
has anyone hear heard of liquid nitrogen beiung used before?

Like big howe, I have a temp probe in my Dinan box...it pretty much reads ambient when moving.
rclements... my engine bay doesn't "bake" anymore because...
1)I have hood vents
2)Only the rear section of the hood insulation remains(the part over the two rear compartments)
3)The IMD lets in the air coming through the grille.
If you want to get rid of the heat in the engine bay, you need to make modifications to the factory setup. They sealed it up pretty well.

What about putting one of these on your intercooler?
It's a thermoelectric cooler. It might work for DFIC owners cause it has a place for it. Anyone tried it?

I don't think those draw many watts hence not much cooling. I haven't done the exact calc's, but if you look at the BTU's going through the IC you'd need roughly 1.2 jigawatts of electricity from a flux capacitor to make it worthwhile.

There is a source of fresh incoming air that is blocked by the design of the front end . Partsman has tapped this location with his modification. We accomplished the same thing with what we call the " baby scoop "

...and as you can see from the pics posted by Longboard and maxmini, there are different ways to go about it.
But, nothing beats the original
