You will be able to travel at speed fine, but as soon as you drop under 30mph with a warm engine you'll overheat in a couple of minutes, if that.
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Re: 406 front mount help
would co2 spray help 2 prevent this? because really i dont see the point in having a front mount 2 cover it up the gay fans, lol
what if i kept the fans but behind the front mount with air directed towards them using ducting stuff??

Bit of a silly question really.BRADYBOY2K8 wrote:i'm doing a front mount intercooler on my exec turbo and wondered, i'll obv need 2 remove the old cooler, but the 2 fans in front, will my car over heat if i take em out?? thanks
The fans are there for a reason, much like the wheels and tyres at each corner of your car!

Re: 406 front mount help
If you do it right, might work. Remember to reverse the motors, or you'll just blow the air AWAY from the engine!BRADYBOY2K8 wrote:would co2 spray help 2 prevent this? because really i dont see the point in having a front mount 2 cover it up the gay fans, lol

I think you're shaping up for an overheat though.

Re: 406 front mount help
cheers, once i take everything off, i'm hoping i can move the fans inplace of the old cooler ( still drawing air towards the engine )
it looks as if there is enough room to mount a new cooler and position the fans further back
dont know if that makes sence to you :S lol

Re: 406 front mount help
Why would you want to remove the cooling system from the engine? Surley this would result in over heating? These fans tend to be put there for a reason.

Re: 406 front mount help

i'm hoping i can mount the front mount in front of the fans and direct air to them via induction hoses, not sure tho

They design the engine bay and cooling system accomodation to account for it.BRADYBOY2K8 wrote:i know there 4 a reason but i need a way round it, how do other cars with front mounts run with out over heating??
