Improving engine cooling when you already have a Porsche 911 cooling kit

Hi all,
Has anyone done this?

How well did it work in keeping the engine temp down while stationary?

I have done the above mod, basically drew around my licence plate, then removed it. Draw another line about an inch inside the first one, leaving more in the corners (so I can mount the plate easily).
I then drilled a hole in each corner, put the plate in position and marked where the holes were needed on the plate. Then used nuts n bolts to stand the whole number plate about 1.5 inches off. I then painted any visible bits of the bolt black.


It did make a difference, and also slightly reduced air noise caused by the fan pulling the air past the decklid (which is quite close to the fan in places).

If your temp rises and rises when stationary I would say you need to check the engine bay sealing tin you are using... Is it sealing correctly? I saw a vast improvement in stationary temps when I made that seal correctly.

Cya,
