Extensive development, CAD modeling, 3D scanning, and exhaustive real-world flow testing have yielded a proprietary EMPI fan shroud that cools more effectively, directs air more efficiently, and fits better than ever before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese early style Super Shrouds deliver more air volume for increased cooling capacity. Internal fin shapes and placements were optimized using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software and empirical flow bench testing. 3D scans of multiple engine cases and tins were used to ensure the best fitment possible. Plus, the Super Shroud can accommodate your choice of stock (28-30mm) or thicker (37mm) fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EMPI Super Shroud features multiple elements that have been completely redesigned for a cleaner, OE Style look while delivering improved engine performance and longevity when compared to OEM shrouds including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdded Velocity Stack Inlet, mimicking the Porsche 356 OEM shroud, to increase airflow into the shroud and deliver more cooling efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnhanced air balance across the engine, OE-style and existing aftermarket shrouds are typically imbalanced, favoring the passenger side (1 \u0026amp; 2 cylinders) versus the driver side (3 \u0026amp; 4 cylinders). This imbalance can lead to inconsistent heating between the sides of the motor. The EMPI Super Shroud corrects the imbalance while still delivering increased airflow across both sides of the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtended cooling fin tips to simulate the OEM thermostat vanes; while many OEM thermostats have been deleted or no longer function properly, EMPI engineers extended these tips to replicate thermostat functionality in the “on” position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproved fan shroud fitment on OEM and bubbletop engine cases for easier installation and a better seal to the engine tin when compared to previous EMPI shrouds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorizontal alignment of the alternator bolt holes and removal of unnecessary holes makes for a better-looking shroud that contains the airflow more completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtensive testing confirms that the EMPI Super Shroud delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7% more total air flow than previous EMPI non-doghouse shrouds (w\/either fan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14% more cooling air CFM (cubic feet per minute) output than OE Style Shroud (w\/30mm fan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e37% more cooling air CFM output than OE Style Shroud (w\/37mm fan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e42% more engine cooling capacity when using a remote oil cooler and 37mm fan versus OE-style oil cooler in an OE-style shroud\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper shrouds are available in semi-gloss black paint or chrome finish with optional heater ducts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to guarantee your next engine build runs cooler, longer and performs better?
