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) Attached image(s) ![]() |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) you want a external oil-cooler? mount it where it gets enough cold air to actually DO something for you. the front is the only way to go. those little electric fans won't help ya cause you still move hot air over a hot cooler. same for the under-rear-trunk location. or the inside-rear-trunk location. this just does not work ...
