Radiator ducting
All,
I am interested in getting some ducting for the radiator. Is there anyone out there that makes something like that by any chance? |

Imo ducting will have minimal gains over a full setup. Fan shroud kit, fans and, a radiator is what you should get. http://counterspacegarage.com/products/cooling.html |

The custom ones I've seen is only a block off plate/shield on the sides to direct air towards the center instead of the sides. But that may take air away from your oil cooler depending on where it is mounted. Also look into hood scoop/extractor options to extract air.

Hood vents, what you need are hood vents.

Hood vents are definitely a must. If you are still overheating after that, something else is wrong. Ducting would only be a bandaid. That being said. No one has a kit as they will mostly be custom as every car is set-up slightly different. They are decently ducted from the factory.

Isn't ecu tune governing engaging & rpms of fan? (IIRC there was a way to tune them in OFT). If so, i guess without modding any hardware one can get much more from very same rad, w/o any ducts, without any hood/fender vents.
There is nothing tune can do with oil overheating (except cutting power down), so that's the area you should care about/improve upon. One can improve capability of rad (not bottleneck) via ducting or hood vents .. but what's a point, if ecu tune just will engage fan later/for shorter time interval/at lesser speeds to compensate? :/ |

If you don't encounter and freezing temps drain some coolant and add distilled water. Increase the radiator cap to 1.3 bar To prevent slower driving speed heating up you can have the cooling fans run constant off a switch.

OP never said he had over heating issues with coolant or oil. I am not sure why you are all mentioning oil coolers and hood vents etc.
Similar to the Ace solution, HKS Kansai do them as part of an intake setup. LINK Seems like an expensive way to go tho. I don't think it would be too hard to fab up your own out of aluminium sheet if you were keen.

Best air flow through the radiator, and with the help of Velox bonnet vents placed in the low pressure area, achieve the best heat exhaust. Secondary benefit will be the increase in the down force. On the track or spirited driving it would be very good to get these two nailed with minimal modifications!
I had a look at the Kansai ones as well! |
