@1self & Dhanush, thanks for that. Will definitely keep that in mind when I work on this. The SMPS fan was an example, but can you think of a better fan I can use ? Something small enough, yet one which can generate good flow ? I can also explore the possibility of running it on 12V if required. |

I think you can mount an additional radiator fan of some smaller vehicle ( 800 , Alto) and then create a channel to scoop air from radiator to IC ( Please use metal pipe not plastic / thermocol becuase that can create fire hazard) |

Is that possible? With the space given? And even if its possible, is the delta change in temperature, by cooling the rear of the IC, worth the effort? |

The fan and the channel has to be installed and routed in such a way that the fan draws ambient temperature air and both do not block the normal air flow to the intercooler or radiator.
