power loss during race. heat soak??
#22
it exits on top of the undertray to the side of the front mouth ducting which should be relatively low pressure. i am no aerodynamicist though. going to take it to the track like this and see what happens. if it does not work i will just have to move it back to where it was at the track and go back to the drawing board. wonder how well a a fan would work??

A cheap magnehelic pressure gauge off ebay will take all the guesswork out of your ducting.

tells a bit about them. If you search that site for "magnehelic" you'll find quite a few articles.

If you're going to go with a fan, you could try using the 12v bilge blowers Spooky uses for brake cooling in his ducting thread.
Also one thing I note about your original oil cooler location is that it's in front of the cool side of the intercooler, so all the heat being pulled out of the oil was going into your charge as it exited the intercooler. Perhaps moving it over to the hot side (driver's left) and letting the exit half of the intercooler see unobstructed airflow would solve IAT problems without having to use a fan or blower on the oil cooler.
