If you go with the Trust unit you can still get the air con condensor in.

[quote name='eyecandy' date='Jun 3 2005, 05:35 PM']To maximize airflow thru both the IC and rad (like how the AC condensor is placed roughly an inch away from the rad) this is to minimize pressure changes. Most ICs are 6 or more inches away from the radiator, and this causes the air to slow down in the void between the two, secondly I have yet to see any FMIC setups with a ducting.

This being said, why don't more FMIC people run an electric IC Fan setup to blow the air into the radiator? Or perhaps a full push - pull? Along with proper ducting to make sure the air doesn't dissipate outwards, seems like this would work very well. I have used IC fans on previous cars I have built with good success, and I've yet to see any RX7s with them. Is space a concern? If not, I'd like to know why this is.
