Full Air Ducting
 
Has anyone done radiator inlet and exit ducting for ours cars? Would the aerodynamic/cooling benefits be noticeable? I understand most turbo setups may make this difficult, but could it also be used to cool the turbo better? Just thoughts.

Would be nice if there was more data on this. Effect in coolant temps, cooling overall, how it plays into stacked radiators (oil cooler, forced induction)...

Wondering if anyone bought this:

Holy Necro.

Ducting does work, but this specific one will only work on a factory setup. Adding anything in front will require custom work to this, most likely changing everything about it. Better off doing custom ducting.

Data can be found all over the place for a number of cars. You aren't likely to find much change in a street driven car though, unless you have a very inefficient setup to begin with.
