My Renegade set up ( a few years back) has the fans in front as pushers. As far as I know, this style fan never pushes as well as it pulls. Somewhat like fuel pumps always push better than suck. How are the current Renegade setups coming? Radiator capacity seems quite adequate since at speed, she cools. At idle after a drive, it maxes cooling capacity which leads me to think the cooling/forced air situation could be improved. I have SS braided hose currently under the car, but have always thought much like Elephant's oil lines that we are losing a huge heat sink with rubber hoses.
Doesn't it appear (not an engineer or expert on thermal dynamics) that an extra 20 feet especially on the rear to front run of Al tubing could radiate a lot of heat? Maybe with turbulence spirals internally or cooling fins ala transcooler or ps lines externally?
