As some of you who have been following this thread have known, folks with the Jackson Racing oil cooler (NA Version) are required to relocate the the heat exchanger. The JR oil cooler original position is in the same area that the Edelbrock Low Temp Radiator (LTR) will reside.

Initially, the natural idea was to relocate the cooler forward and below the crash beam to make room for the LTR.
Reference Post Although this method is not completely unorthodox, the obstruction the oil cooler has become for the Edelbrock LTR is more substantial than expected. In cruising conditions, I was logging almost 40°F higher Intake Air Temperature (IAT) than ambient. Highest peak IAT during autocrossing in 82°F ambient was 153°F. This was costing me ignition timing and ultimately power.
Looking for yet another alternative location for the oil cooler I noticed that there is a decent amount of flat real estate just in front of all of the other heat exchangers. In my line of work, I've seen heat exchangers mounted flat in the past. I was thinking that there should be a pressure differential between the front opening of the bumper and the high speed air flowing beneath the front of the car, it seemed reasonable the oil cooler could operate laying flat.
Drop down brackets from the crash beam to the oil cooler.
I may make a mesh grill to protect the cooler and I still need to create a better seal around the opening and the oil cooler, but so far I have seen a noticeable improvement. I've observed a drop in cruising IAT temps of 11-20°F! I still need to log more and see what my temps peak at during autocross or canyon driving but the change has shown promise. In addition, oil temps have only displayed about a 6°F increase. Again, I still have more data to gather, but I'm convinced that you do not want to obstruct the Edelbrock LTR if you care about IAT's.
