What’s the problem with over cooling a car engine?

2.62K views

The new 2020 Supra is set to come out soonish and the car is covered in ‘fake’ vents. These vents aren’t functional (from the factory) but the plastic filler can be popped out and replaced with real (functional) vents for people that tune the car and make it faster.

One of the reasons Toyota said they didn’t make all those vents functional to begin with, is because it would over cool the engine. Why would this be a bad thing?

The real reason is likely that it is more expensive to manufacture functional vents but makes it looks interesting and high-performance. There’s no reason for the huge vent down the door, the engine is in the front, and the brake vents are also fake
