Successfull Tracking with Forced Induction??

Along those lines, it's interesting to me that so much of the back is blocked off so such that air can't freely flow through. You would think that this would really impact heat exchange efficiency. Perhaps the action of the fans more than makes up for that. Very nice looking kit in any event. It is about 2x what the CSF kit costs so I am curious what the performance difference is.

The idea is was to allow an option to run the factory fans if desired. We also have an option to run a pair of larger 14" fans.

In regards to "blocking" part of the radiator, the factory shroud does the same thing. That is to allow the fans to draw air through the radiator more efficiently.

Our radiator is 70mm thick compared to the 30mm thick alternative and 18mm thick stock radiator. Running a much thicker radiator core increases coolant capacity as well as increases heat transfer. This also allows us to run a substantially larger auxiliary heat exchanger in the end tank for better oil cooling (trans or engine). Basically, the heat exchanger in our radiator is large enough that you don't even need to run an air-oil cooler on an automatic transmission...it does a spectacular job on its own.
