Air flow to radiator

[Hypo]

Has anyone constructed something to force air through the radiator of their car?

I would like to increase the air and someone has suggested building a shroud around the front of the radiator intercooler and also putting on a top deflector? Does anyone have any ideas on products or pictures of the outcome?

Thanks

ive got the meek air guide on mine seems to do a good job although having a thicker alloy radiator i had to trim a few mm off.

I have a Greddy air deflector on the top of my Evo's radiator.
I have also removed the condensor fan from the front which frees up a fair bit of real estate.
Try those 2 to begin with Luke, I think that combo will help you out a fair bit.

seal between the front bar and the intercooler and then the intercooler and the radiator.

to test the theory you can just use coreflute(which is all i ever had) to see what works best

also under bonnet pressure restricts airflow through the rad so bonnet vents help a heap.
even adding a small lip in front of the stock vents and removing the rain guard (even if just for track) will all help

i didnt even have a fan on my car at all and water temp was always super low

I have a 50mm dam across my half sized radiator. Hatltec shows 86°c at idle. Haven't really had to opportunity to see what driving conditions are like.

Corflute works a treat.

Thanks for the responses. I will have a look at it this weekend.

I only have a Starion and have boxed around the spoiler opening to help keep/force as much incoming air thru the IC and radiator and made an air diversion panel on the radiator support forward to prevent air flowing over the top of the radiator.
DO NOT raise the rear of the bonnet as that is a high pressure area when driving at speed and won't help cool things down. (that only works in 4x4 when crawling at lo speed )
