Better Cooling?
Do any of you know if getting a slim fan and mounting it to push air instead of pull air though the radiator will help keep the temps down a little? I just mounted my starion IC and my car is running a little hotter then normal. The fan kicks on and all and I think the IC is blocking some of the air.
Has anyone esle had this problem
(92 CIvic with stock half, dinky radiator)

Hmm, havent ran into that problem, even with tyrus's intercooler on the z6 hatch turbo we have. I dont know your setup configuration, but you could simply run duel fans if you need to, lots of space in a 5g.

I've had this kind of problem after installing a front mount. I moved my license plate to the side (was in the middle partialy blocking both the IC, and radiator), and everything went back to normal. Putting in another fan would be a good first step.

Yeah the water pump is goood and the T stat should be flowing good, the coolant could proably use a flushing though. did not think of that. Oh BTW my radaitor is too small to run 2 fans side by side I think. (half rad.)
