been to the track last night to take some pics of some z's... saw this motor on one z... it has a cooling fan... looks like it doesn't do much but i think it may help a bit...
it's connected to the armature and turns when you gas the motor... it forces air back into the motor theoretically keeping it cooler... what do you think? works?
Nice catch there man!
It's a nice idea and I see it's made from an armature plate.
I reckon it must offer some form of airflow, but exactly how effective it is, is anyone's guess.
Perhaps it psycological, like a placebo
As for the uninsultated Turbo, well I like the idea, but I wouldn't endorse or practise it!
Originally posted by ultrawide How are the fan working out? And is't drawing the air out or pushing it in to the motor can? If it push, dont u get a lot of dust in the can?
i think his idea was to push the air in to cool the motor... i haven't asked him if it gathers a lot of dust... we run them at the track and they sweep them regularly... www.connecticutspeedway.com i'm shameless, shameless for this plug...
pictures i took at the track will be posted soon i hope...
