You could assume the technology has advanced, compare the fan size to what is normally fitted to a car.

It's far better to go for a compact refrigerated ac to dry air out but I'm assuming you would use these as throw always each season perhaps given their price. At $13 no harm in trying!

I haven't seen it done in an fe/fc before. (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/23/1463d314bcb671838d7b8bcbd956250a.jpg)
This is the vf. I thought of running the pickup pipe or air intake from the back and actually dual purposing it as a wiring channel/air channel. Weird idea huh. |
