I disagree about adding the fan, unless it moves air at 100mph or better.
It would be better to mount the cooler a little more vertical and make the box on the front at least 4" deep to increase the head pressure.

To the cooler. There is also a air duct on the lower passenger side of the car.
If this doesn't get it done, front cooler, here I come. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

nice work....

I built something similar for my tranny
I just couldn't get enough clean air at the edge of the firewall (where yours is)

I ended up moving my intake scoop to the passenger side window and taking the duct work down through the engine lid and into the rear trunk

dropped my trans temp another 15 -20 degree's when I moved my scoop

I borrowed your idea here. I never noticed an update on your thread about it working or not working. Mine doesn't have that elbow that your does. I don't know if that will make any difference or not. I'll find out at Sebring in June. It will be hot!!

I think your lack of the 90 turn is only going to make it better

it worked somewhat...
I dropped my trans oil 25degree's..
but another 15-20 when I moved my intake up the the upper back of the passenger side window. I built another scoop for the new location and need to take pictures soon.

I also ran with the engine lid off for testing purposes.
going to build a new engine lid next weekend that accomodates the feeder hose.

I should update

Remarkably similar to the P51 belly scoop.
It worked because of what followed,a low pressure area.
A RR Merlin had to dissipate a lot of heat,and the solution was low drag.

I was under the impression that the tumbling air under the cylinder heads, caused by the plastic flaps, was important for head cooling. By adding this ducting here under the 3/4 bank are you not exacerbating the cooling challenges to cylinder 3?

I may not be getting a clear understanding of the layout from the pictures.

I removed those flaps a while ago. They were falling off with the rust I had there. I've run the car for a while now and my head temp is fine. I will monitoring head temps with the tubing there. I guess it could run up a bit.
See you next Sunday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

New bumper exit. I think I've been building up air behind the cooler in the past. Sebring next weekend with Seabird. I see if this works out. Cant hurt, right?

Shane that screening reduces airflow about 30 percent...severs no real purpose either.

Thanks for the advise.

Took the screen off and added brackets to hold the bumper in place.
