I was at a car meet a week or so ago and was visiting with a person who had build a Cobra kit. We were talking about air flow, heat etc. He showed me on the Cobra, he had placed a bilge blower fan and ran a hose to the cab. Now, we have all seen @Samowens44 excellent video on cooling assistance, so armed with that and a bilge fan, I went to work.
So where to do you put it, so it draws cool air? Looking at the front, I decided since I don't have Canadian headlights, that it would fit there. Yep, a supercharger for cool air...
I then routed the 1.5 inch sump pump hose from the fan, into the passenger side of the Sling.
Waiting on my switch panel to come in, currently it is wired to the accessory fuse block on the key and runs continuously. Fan has a 3.7 amp draw and moves 130 cfm of air.
Still to come, a wire cover so it don't shoot the bugs onto the passenger through the hose and a cover that can be installed if rain is projected.
If it works well on our Vail trip, then I'll add one to the driver's side.
Let me know what you think!
