Oil cooler location revisited, How 'bout the hell hole? Options

[East coaster]

Has anyone installed an oil cooler in the battery tray/hell hole area?? I was looking at this area and thinking that if the battery is relocated this spot could be used for an oil cooler/fan combo with the hot air being spent into the passenger side wheel well. Keeps the oil lines close and keeps both trunks unaltered (except for relocated battery!). I don't know how much ambient flow would occur with this installation, but a fan(s) should be able to push enough air??

Here's a really quick and really bad photoshop pic of what I mean:




My apologies to whomever I stole the hell hole pic from....it's not easy being green (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

here we go again..
any location is dooable...
I've seen this done.. I've seen everylocation done...

for the hell hole, its usually done by installing a scoop of some sort in the fender and pulling air in from the side of the car....

thing is.. a location with out direct air flow does not work as well as a location with direct air flow...

my friend that did the hell hole.. he later changed it to a front cooler... most people do.. you get more cooling out of a front cooler...

The one non front cooler that I've seen that I actually liked.. was a cooler installed onto the engine lid, where the guy would go to driving events and had long enough oil lines that he would bolt it onto a mount he made for the ski rack location... caused the cooler to stick up above the roof, directly in the air flow...

at the end of the day he would take the cooler down and put it back into the engine bay and return to a street set up that had no cooling benefit over stock.......

Maybe you don't need an additional cooler?
do everything you can to boost up the stock cooling...

if thats not enough (with a temp gauge)... then seriously consider doing a front cooler or something with direct air flow. I say this because I know a lot of people who when through the cooler dilema twice.
