More Cooling Needed, Raby 2056 Motor Options

[HalM]

I ran a DE this weekend and the weather was hot, averaging high 80's to low 90's. By the end of a 20 minute session, the temperature guage was bumping right up to the red mark. A "parade lap" would quickly drop it back down.

I did a quick search on cooling and I ran across a link to BAT. They have a unit that mounts to the engine lid. Price seems reasonable and it might even be DIY.

My car is 50/50 driver and DE. Anyone have any experience with this setup? Am I wasting time thinking about it and should I just go ahead and do a front mount?

Thanks for comments.

Something like this:

with a thermostat sandwhich adapter above your oil filter and a thermo sensor to click on the fan would be all you need I bet. Put it above your tranny, don't worry about running lines all the way to the front. Works perfect on my t4ed Beetle, oil never gets above 185. I don't have an exhaust system running underneath it though, but at speed in a DE I don't think that would matter.
