Relieving Engine Bay temps - ventilation

[liftlid]

Speaking of under the hood tempereatures... I never understood or liked top mount intercoolers and bonnet scoops. Common law of physics, heat rises and attempts to escape upwards. So here we have air being pushed, through the front of the engine bay, through the radiator, cooling it down, over the fan onto the engine and then the hot air tries to go up, through the IC and bonnet scoop ?? But then you have the cold counter-air being pushed downwards through the bonnet and IC, and you have a result of 2 clashing air fronts. Ultimate is front mounted cooler, with exit points as far back on top of the bonnet as possible.

Bring your ft mount inter cooler muddy Victoria and you will change your mind, they get hot enough after a mud run with a top mount intercooler without putting something else in ft of the radiator
