The fans turn on when the water temp hits a threshold right? How would that help the air temp if the threshold water temp isn't reached to activate the fans?My understanding is that with a liquid to air setup, it doesn’t matter how much you upgrade, heat soak is inevitable. It is prolonged with larger more efficient bits however it still happens.
Also:
When an air to air is front mount like old school aftermarket setups, then while sitting in traffic without air flowing through, it can be an issue. But. It doesn’t look like that is how Z1 has designed theirs. If they sit up against the rad/ a/c condenser, then when the fans kick on they will pull air through and cool the intercoolers off. (I believe this is how they are setup.)
Mk2 MR2’s had an air to air setup with a fan which worked fine. Also if one were having cooling issues with an air to air setup, you could add a couple Spal fans to the mix and take care of it.
