I was thinking of putting it on about where it sits. But I need to do the test first.

How about installing an aux cooling fan like off of an FJ-62, just on the inside right fender
instead of the left as in the 62?? Might have to move things around a bit, and maybe
cut a hole in the fender, or maybe not depending on how you routed the outside air to it.

You could mount the OEM temp sensor for the OEM aux cooling fan on the air intake muffler(box)
I am sure there are electronic experts on this forum who could figure out how
to make it turn on when the air intake temps got too high??

Any thoughts out there??

I noticed something today- after a 15min drive (city, bit of freeway) and parked, I noticed that the hottest parts of the front were-

1. by far the hottest were the front fenders above the wheelwells - both sides
2. The pass side of the hood- toward the front, basically in front of the air filter.

the rest of the hood was barely warm.

So I think this unscientifically shows the "hot zones". What do you guys think?
