a sneak peak at the cooling system. I am going to make a shroud, with plexi windows around the amps on the amp side and around the pumps on the pump side. 4 very large fans pulling air in one window, circulating backwards to 4 more fans which will push air over the T2500's. Then 4 more large fans pushing air OUT of the car on the other side. For this to work, i will have to crack the windows on hot days. But honestly, this is not going to be a daily driver of any kind so it won't be a problem to crack the windows if i have to let air in. For the most part, none of it will get that hot anyway.

they are JUST TAPED, TACKED, and otherwise just mocked up right now. So don't tell me how crooked they are, this is just me trying to see what my option's are.

also, both sides will have the red fans. The black ones will be transfered to the back on the inside.

These black fans will be RED when i am done. I just used these to mock up where they are going to go.

Time to design the fan system. I plan on having 4 large fans pulling air in, 4 blowing on the T2500's, and 4 blowing air out. This is just me mocking them up. Now that i know what will fit, i need to make the sides air tight so they can funnel the air AND so it will look good. I am planning on having a few plexi windows so you can see the amps on one side and the compressor system on the other side.

i will have 4 fans pulling air in, 4 fans pushing air over the amps and 4 fans blowing air out the other side of the car. Here is the amp fans being installed. No, they are NOT D'Amore engineering fans, i just put that sticker over them because it fit perfect and looked better

i have fan relays and a controller box to hook up to the LED's tomorrow and then the rear will be mostly done. Then on to the sides!
