considering a dual e-fan setup to go in front of the stock fan, when out 4x4ing, couple of times i've seen the temps climb while climbing up steep trails and thought it would be good to put at least 1 fan to help out the stocker & to also keep intake temps down to a decent level. With my edge set to monitor intake temps, I saw temps as high as 130 deg on hot days. when that temp was down to 105, it seemed to pull the strongest. So, if I add 1 fan to kick on at about 190 on the DS of the radiator, i'm hoping to keep things cool enough to keep the intake temp down.

what do you guys think?

 

I dont sww why it wouldnt hurt. I know the main fan is controlled electricaly, find a way to splice into that and your set.

I also know the fan comes on at low speed when the compressor is kicked in.

 

well the motivation is too fold... 1 being to keep the temps at 195 & the other is to try to cool the intake charge better. the cooler gets heat soaked on hot days in stop & go traffic. once it heats up, it never cools down until you turn it off for the night.

It just occured to me that the flows for the rad and the intercooler go in opposite directions, I'm wondering if a shield near the endcap on the cooler may help prevent heat soak there... IIRC, the DS has the coolant return to the radiator which is the hottest side while the DS is the feed for the intake manifold on the intercooler... might be a challenge getting it shielded w/o obstructing the flow...
