I thought about it Paul, but it don't have the guts to start on it :).
Also the prop has the electric hub and I have to make separate cuffs
for each blade.

True but the inner ends of the blades hardly twist at all.
I don't thing you will ever get enough power out of 12 volt
fans to do the job but it is worth a try. I could be way wrong
on this.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Paul and Buly,
The 94+ 13B turbos all have electric fans (no pump fan). I can tell you
from experience that the temp drops 30F or more when they come on when
standing in traffic idling. So they are quite effective at increasing
the airflow.
