    Those of you running an intercooler that blocks your radiator...

    Are you guys using an electric fan to help with cooling?

    Will a pusher fit between the intercooler and the rad for effective-enough cooling?

    How much room do we have between the block and rad, assuming we do a mechanical fan delete?

    Is there a specific volume of air (cfm) I should be looking for?

    I have 2 extra cylinders worth of room between the block and my radiator ;)

      tons of room when doing a mechanical fan delete, really helps when you have to do maintenance or change belts too.

      i know frozensolid runs a intercooler infront of his radiater behind his kidney

        I guess I should probably mention I have an m20.

          youll have tonnes of room. and i wouldnt imagine it would matter where the fan is located. its still moving air through the radiator.

            Get the kit from ireland engineering and put it off centered alittle more to the exhaust side of your motor and then wire it to pull air through and you'll be fine

              I have mine mounted in front of the radiator, just using stock clutch fan. I haven't seen any adverse cooling effects.
