Keeping it cool - DEX410

[jo90]

Very happy with the DEX410 but have one slight issue when it comes to airflow to the electrics.

Im running a Tekin RS with a SP 6.5 V3.0 . I was finding the speedo was getting way to hot, to the point that the car started to cog, possibly almost at thermal shutdown.

I was running the Tekin on Dual mode, 5% boost and the timing fully retarded on the motor. Current limit set to 40%. Gearing was a 22/87t 48dp.

I know the RS is meant to be able to run down to a 5.5 but I will be likely switching this for the RSPro in my DEX210. However I still feel once we get out in the (I say this with tounge in cheek) summer, the car is going to run to hot.

So, how have those who have DEX410's running Tekin speedo's managed to keep things cool ?

I do have a high power 30mm fan to install that could slot in front of the speedo but i haven't seen that many who do this.

I have also cut holes in the airscoops on the shell to try and get some air into the body.

this is the current wiring on the car



I believe if i move the switch to a new location a fan can slide in there. I can drill through the side pod and countersink a small M3x10mm to hold the fan in place.

Any help though on what you have done will be appreciated, possibly if you have pics of your Tekin install also that would be great

cheers
