ABC cooling fan & intercooler/mini radiator report

I just had to install this fan. I may not need it but it fit perfect ! I'm working on a thermostat.
I posted earlier about re-pluming the mini radiator into the intercooler circuit and adding a Meziere Remote Electric Water Pump WP136S I got it going a week or so ago. It seems to work well, after running the car getting on the throttle a bit, pop he hood to find the coolers cold ! Really cold and conversely the two air cleaner housing really hot.

I also decided to attempt to give the Ign/injector module a bit of a lift. I added 4 rubber insulators to help it because it seems to get hot under there. I have no idea if this will prevent failures but it sure can't hurt. I added a second ground to make sure the circuits happy.

The fan is a 5 1/2 inch unit made for ATV's. It pushes about 300 cfm.

nice...

but i am not aware of any overheating problems with the pentosin.

so... you _might_ have provided a solution to a non-existent problem.

lifting and insulating the engine ecu on the other hand seems like a good idea.

Nice work! Raising the module seems like a good idea, preventative failures (causes misfires on one bank).
