Post some more pics.


YS Tech has a 130cfm 120mm fan, and Delta has a 150+ cfm monster too.

Fan or Generator?

Those fans don't flow anywhere near enough air to help. I believe we need 200-300 cubic feet per minute just to feed the engine (can anyone confirm?)

Edit: Looking at Eatons site for the S/C specs says it can pull almost 800cu ft/min at redline. The highest flow flan is 125cu ft. bummer.

It probably won't hurt if you are using an open air filter, but it won't help.

Maybe...

The real question is, how much pressure is there just with the hole? Is it positive? zero? negative?

What kind of static pressure can the fans generate? (typically pretty small if I remember correctly)

Sure!

I'm out there every so often, left time I'm out, I'll give you a heads up and we can argue case fans over a couple of beers

lol... trying to overclock your truck, eh?



Heh, the fans would likely obstruct airflow more than help, except maybe at idle. Maybe if you had some that flowed 400-600 cfm or so... then again, the current draw on the battery might negate the negligible cool air gain...

What, you want more people to tell you that you're a moron for doing this?

Reminds me of the BS on eBay:

You're not gaining ANYTHING from that. Your mod is retarded, plain and simple.

Hey, don't get pissed off at me for speaking the truth. I'm trying to save someone else the trouble.

I have an idea !!! Market this crap on eGay!
