The oil also carries a lot of heat away. Which is why people mount oil coolers in the front. I guess the air alone isnt enough to cool the engine.
Even big micro chips require liquid cooling. a big heat sync and a fan to push or suck air over it just doesnt carry away enough heat.
Are there diminishing returns on the cooling provided by air?
i.e. the faster you move the air and the more of it you move the more cooling you get. But I assume only up to a point.
A lot of Ricers try to get a cooler air in take. A popular mod for Hyundai Coupes (Tiburon) is to mount the air filter on a long tube at the bottom of the engine bay closer to the road, where it gets no obstruction from a cooler air source. Or at least thats what the people that sell them claim.
