Nice...so are you close to driving it?
What's the plan for getting air across the oil cooler, some fans? |

Just some minor things left, lengthening wires etc
There's a 1300cfm fan on it I'll take a better pic later |

Brian -- Very impressive! I thought about an oil cooler too, but I just don't know if I really plan on tracking this car or not. I know I will do some Autocross with my club, probably 6-10 events per season. But I sure like the set-up you have. Nice big cooler too! Are you putting a fan on the cooler?

Don, be reminded that power makes heat. I didn't have to worry about temps until I did my first rebuild. Blew it up the first time on track because I added 100 horse power and no cooling power.
I'm not saying you will need it, but be aware that you certainly might. |

Looks impressive! Are you concerned about possible damage to the cooler due to road debris?

I put mine here, but I think that's where the cruise control bubble and AIR were.

Not bad, I'm reserving that area, and it's twin, in case I need and intercooler in the future.

Brian this is BV85. Where did you get those protective pieces to keep the heat off the floorboardes. They have a blue sticker on them. TIA

Update - had trouble keeping the oil cool in this location. I think it would be fine for the intercooler, but the extra power seems to need more flow. I put the cooler back in front of the radiator. I may buy a fancy expensive cooler and try here again, but it's working now so who knows... Such a nice bracket going to waste. |

The Corvette Racing C5R and C6.r use the rear license plate area for a cooler - but that's for the trans and diff assembly.
First thought, that's a lot of line to run for the oil... and 2nd, if you flush mount it, how will it get airflow? |

Airflow restricted, only way to package it w/o cutting a hole in the bumper, but I got a large fan on it.
Heat is what kills FI engines, so getting all that heat out of the engine compartment seemed to be the way to go. |
