Talking Re: New and improved Heat exchanger installed, TAAA DAAA
I was not busting on the LET design it is an improvement. I was commenting that for an air cooled h/e that the larger is better and the thicker is not a plus because less cold air gets to the back core and there is more restriction for the air to pass thru.

Taking the factory mounting it , the LET, is a good increase. I actually added 4 12v fans to mine and added baffeling to get all the ram air effect I could get. MOre air is more heat rejection and all good.

My SUPER COOLER design uses all the available space ABOVE THE FRAME RAIL to avoid curbs and to get the most ram air and main fan benefit possible. It is the SUMMIT aluminum race radiator that is about 24 x 16 for 152$. Page 203 of the new catalog, some SUM number I forget.

I am working with a well known company who may be interested in doing the fab needed to finish it into a KIT. If there is enough interest, and I believe that my autocross video will provide that, then the project may become a reality.

I look at this as a value priced addition to the car that builds power without adding stress. Cooler operation without unnecessarily stressing components is a good thing. Ill post the runs on a video (short I promise) so you can test drive the benefits and have real data to analyze how well it goes.

This design was done in concert with another project (or two) that youll be howling about when they come to light. I honestly believe that this will be the most fun weve had thus far, I apoligize for the teaser, but I warn you its worth it and yess the car [your too] goes better.

Project crazy Woody...........taa daa
