A bit off topic: If you did an e-fan mod, it looks like you could fit an engine shroud that covers the engine at the front too.

Sounds positive re the AFM then..
as for an Electric Fan conversion- the 1.9 m44 engine has a rad mounted electric Fan- So I can do a straight swap in for that (once funds allow.
For covering the top of the Engine, I was planning to pilfer Frank lee's "engine Blanket" idea

My older MAP equipped car showed an FE benefit, but newer cars that also have a MAF sensor--instead of just the MAP--seem not to benefit from a WAI. I hope that helps.

It was discussion of Your and Sentra_SE-R findings that led me to question the benefits of the WAI mod- I think the "Old Skool" tech of my AFM may just benefit..for the sake of some ducting It cant be too hard to find out
