Please see latest video with AMB/ACE aero kit on our youtube channel. It's not the easiest to see the oil and water temp guages but the information is there.
This scoop has been paired with the Jackson Racing oil cooler/radiator and it works very well we've been told.
We are drawing the line at showing all our data to confirm everything. We just don't have the staff to do this for every item we have. Doesn't mean we won't ever show findings again, just not for every item.
Anybody running anything built by ACE knows that if we make it, it is going to be functional and as efficient as possible.
We love the feedback from everyone and look forward to the community's comments and criticism. For this $200 item, please use common sense to see it's benefits. Or, if Delicious Tuning wants to release the data logs or one of our customers that's up to them.
Here's a photo of the engineers who designed this and the fields in which they work.
Happy Driving,

I do not want to seem needlessly argumentative, but I am using common sense. How does increasing airflow through the radiator have any effect on oil temp? Unlike many other platforms, the coolant and oil systems are not linked on the FT86. I can pretty easily show you countless examples of cars with coolant temp perfectly in check but oil temp in thermal runaway after a few mild laps, and
none with oil temp as low as 110*c without a cooler in a race application. If you really have discovered some kind of secret sauce to control oil temps with out a cooler you'll sell one easily at twice the price to every track bro on here, but it's going to need some data to back it up. As it stands, you're here telling us that a well documented, well known issue on this platform is solvable in a way that is not sensible to anyone who has spent a bit of time on track with one of these and offer no data to back it up. Hence all the skepticism. Hey @
CSG Mike, how do you feel about the need for oil cooling?
