solving the overheating problems
hi!
As some of you know, I had some heat troubles on the track:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2079927
Now 3 weeks are gone and I am in the process of modifieing the front bumper and relocate the oil- and intercooler.
The oil cooler get in place under the driver side headlight, behind the 2 vents you see already, a 3rd vent will be cut out today. On the passenger side an tranny-oil-cooler will be installed.
The wings west lip is getting 6cm lower (2,35inch), so the front mount IC and the radiator get more fresh air + the radiator is not blocked so much from the IC anymore.
2 round holes on each side are coming under the 3rd vent for brake duct and fresh air for the K&N cone-airfilter.
The old oil cooler has 100x330mm, the new one has 260x210mm, near the double size. I will use the current oil cooler for the tranny oil with a 12V pump.
I rerouted the water and oil lines for the turbo to the timing belt side.
Hope that helps to bring down the coolant and the oil temp.
old location of the oil cooler:

Re: (tartje)
Just had an idea since you're crafty with the air tools and have the shop space. Maybe you toyed with this idea, maybe not: Have you considered installing a complete front diffuser? It's late...not sure if that is the right word for what I'm talking about.
A lot of the high end exotics have them. Basically a flat piece of rigid material (fiber glass or carbon fiber) that covers the whole underside of the engine bay, causing air to properly circulate over high temp parts.
Just about every OEM honda comes with one on the front bumper already. It's much shorter than what I'm thinking of. The OEM one simply causes air to properly travel through the radiator fins then the air dumps out the bottom.
Maybe seal the whole under side of the engine bay with small outlets for the air to escape.

Re: (Haleiwa-Brando)
i would be afraid to keep that oil cooler there with those vents, had a friend of mine breaking his engine due to a lilttle rock coming from the car in front of him that broke his oil cooler and when he noticed the oil pressure going down it was already late.
*edit* wasnt reading right, thats for your tranny, still i would watch out

haha I thought mine was bad
have you tried to run distilled water and water wetter while on the track yet?
with my bumper in the pic below, I started to overheat at VIR after about a half session but I was running straight Honda coolant and it was around 90*F outside. my oil temps were great though 240*F and my oil cooler is mounted right behind the intercooler.
