This is a good idea but you set it up the wrong way. The purpose of the fan is to pull in air away from the cooler. With this set up, unless you wired it backwards, the fan is pulling air away from the cooler and when you are moving, the air is being pushed to go through the oil cooler. It's fighting the air flow. You should have mounted it on the opposite side so it pulls the air through the oil cooler and at the same time the force of the air when you are moving is helping move the air faster. The faster you move the air the cooler it gets. Science 101.

Great idea. I will definitely be taking this setup into consideration when I upgrade my oil cooler - although, being the glutton for punishment that I am, I would probably go with the fan behind the cooler.

Of course, there would be modification need to the splash shield to make that work...
