I have removed the fresh air box, all the controls, blowers and other tid bits, so the area under the cowl is going to be completely open. I dont want to cut up the front of the trunk, both behind the bumper and on the floor side, and also dont want to loose that storage space. So i was thinking I might be able to mount an external oil cooler under the vents in the middle of the cowl. would have fans sucking from the backside of the cooler and then go into an airbox that leads to two exit pipes for the air. the air pipes could then go through the stock air hose holes and either dump into the cabin or go all the way to the long tubes and dump out later. Could also just dump the air right there... but would be then flowing over the gas tank...
Would love to hear peoples opinions.... I made a solidworks CAD design of it and posted it in my project thread with a little more info but didnt many responses. so i figured opening a new thread for it would be beneficial. Just now i also drew on a schematic to a picture i took of the area for reference and is displayed below. Thanks in advance for the help, please post any questions, concerns, or advise.
