I know its strange but bear with me. an electric fan is made to pull(or push) air through the radiator then what? just expel the air out of the back. could one rig up ducting that would use the air behind the fan to force air into the air inake system?? i know the fan isnt on all the time but if you had a valve or a Y pipe..... would it work??

I would think the last thing you want to do is pull hot air that has just passed over the radiator into your intake

Assuming you made some sort of ducting and got it to work, that air would be warmer than it would be from wherever your air intake is currently located. I'm not trying to shoot you down, but I think that it would be a hassle to rig up and then would probably hurt your performance.

Exactly... there is no reason anyone should want to force hot air into their engine.. the denser the better (generally) and cool air is denser than warm. Would do nothing for you performance wise except maybe kill some hp.

Even if the air was cool it would not flow enough to create boost which is where your line of thinking was going.

Kind of like trying to hook up your smog pump directly to your intake as "sort of a supercharger". It simply won't produce enough air to do anything.
