Default Heat problems after fitting airtec intercooler on rst

Hi

Does anyone had heat problems after fitting a AIRTEC SINGLE-PASS FRONT INTERCOOLER on Escort RST S2??

With the new Airtec Single-Pass the fans are now located in-between intercooler and radiator. So fans are fitted in front of radiator??

Anyone have pics of Airtec fitted with fans??

i fitted an airtec front mount cooler and ally rad to a rst a while ago, i fitted a low temp stat at the same time and its been spot on, in the warmer months they do tend to run warmer and the fans do stay on for a longer period of time, but as above make sure you get them wired in the right way round, they should blow air into the bay so just test with a piece of paper with the fan on.

I currently have a double capacity intercooler running 18psi im guessing one of the airtec full front ones will make a big difference? Going to be replacing the rad as well and add a turbo cooler.
