After I put in my front mount I/C I didn't have any room for my stock oil cooler so I had to be creative. This is what I came up with. I still have some ducting/cutting front bumper work to do to get air to the cooler but you get the idea. It's a tight fit but it doesn't rub up against anything.



What do you guys think?

It looks good, do you reckon you'll get enough airflow there?

I think it will be fine as far as airflow is concerned once I make a duct for it, also that little 8" fan moves 800cfm or air :yum: But time will tell how well it works.

Are you pushing or drawing the air through it?

Yeah, thats true.

I wonder how hot it would get under there? Do you think the heat off the headlights would affect it? you should stick a thermometer in there and take it for a drive. I would have thought that there wouldn't be too much airflow there because the air would have to come under the car and up, where the air usually travels out the bottom of the car.
