    I’m getting close to the point where I will need to connect the the cooling system. I’m going to start out with simple upgraded components without going to anything truly custom. The radiator is a Mishimuto Aluminum Radiator that a local guy was selling. I got a good deal on an unused one so I thought it was worth the risk to try it out. I also just picked up a set of Flex-a-lite 220 low-profile fans.

    If this isn’t enough to keep the engine cool, I’ll work on adding additional ducting, but I hope to avoid that weight if possible.

    Ducting shouldn’t be necessary if you seal the radiator well. Making sure that air cannot bypass the radiator should be enough. The fan will draw air when you aren’t moving and when you are, as long as the air isn’t given an easy way around the heat exchanger, it shouldn’t be an issue, IMO.

    Like the updates.
