intercooler fan?

has anyone made any type of intercooler fan to help prevent heat soak?

i know that a lot of alltrac guys put a small fan on top of the TMIC to keep air flowing through it when in slow traffic or stopped at lights

right now im currently looking for a little fan that will fit on top of the intercooler and most likely be temp controlled, unless its pretty quiet and can be run all the time.

if anyone does have a intercooler fan, could you post some pics? i ran a search but i just found posts that said "i'm not a fan of top mount intercoolers"

check it out: http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~gavinp/airwater.htm Talks about fans in this thread. It won't be very useful, unless you can figure out a way to mount them underneath the IC, as I think if they were on top, they would impede the flow of air while in motion.

either do the water sprayer thing if you have a sedan and can give up a spot in your washer fluid bottle....


us wagon dudes just use that as an excuse to go CO2, or a tank in the back
