i'd say that's one of the con's of having a full front mount, it's going to restrict airflow, and the fans are going to have to do the job whilst cruising!
Then the rest of the cooling system isn't up to scratch.
your never gonna get a car will a full front mount that can cruise down a hot m/way on boost without using the fans!
That is a contradiction. You can't cruize and be on boost at the same time. ignoring that issue, my car has proven that wrong. I use a standard Ford rad,blocked by a full frontal GRS intercooler and a 10" kenlowe fan. Under no circumstances does that fan ever come on ever ever ever, when I am either cruizing around or thrashing it. It only ever comes on when I am moving very slowly or stopped.
their are allot of things you can do to make them work less but their still gonna come on at some point!
When the car is stationary!!
I know fully what your saying, but your not seeing what I mean
I can't see it because an up to scratch cooling system should be able to cope with a large intercooler blocking flow at cruizing speeds! Like mine!
Only defective vehicles will end up with the fans coming on while driving.
I'm paid vast sums of money to know about and fix automotive vehicles Dave. You're arguing with the wrong person!
