cross post from my street car thread: I'm thinking you could close off the front half of your opening and not lose much airflow? My front opening is smaller than the liscense plate I leave the plate on most of the time and only pull the plate when I need the cooling... (ie: heat of the summer, or track time) I've use the exact (and acutal) same cooler in three different exit configurations each one opened up and increased the exit size, and correspondingly dropped the oil temperature this one has a HUGE exit for a very small cooler and is 20degrees F cooler oil temps on the track than my most restrictive experiment (same cooler, same car, same motor, different day) I agree with the old rule of thumb about using 2x the exit size of your cooler entrance size.... (that hot air expands and a good exit draws more air through the cooler) |

this one has a HUGE exit for a very small cooler and is 20degrees F cooler oil temps on the track than my most restrictive experiment (same cooler, same car, same motor, different day) One would think that with a louvered cover (even if only partially covering that huge hole) you could get pretty close to the same actual open surface but with a much better visual result.
