Air to air Intercooler - fans or no fans?

[JM PRO]

I am installing a intercooler behind my seats in a 2 seater. It will be installed in front of the radiator. I have plenty of room so I was planning on installing a large 24 x 12.5 x 3.5 core size intercooler. Air flow in this area will be marginal at best. There is a gas tank that hinders some air flow and the car has a hood and side panels that leave open a small area in front. I will attach a pic of the car for reference. Intercooler will be under the panel behind the seats and in front of the radiator.

Does anyone have real world experience with IAT's with or without fans and with similar air flow?

I have a 16x6x3 intercooler (supercharged) that gets some air pulled through it by the radiator. Without fans it can’t keep up, 120+ IAT. With fans <95 IAT.

Biggest fan with a shroud if possible.

May take some experimenting. Putting a fan on it in front of the radiator may disturb the cooling of the radiator. IATs aren’t usually bad with turbos as they are with blowers. Also e85 will help with that too. Obviously as cool as you can get the air is best.
