Well I got around to making brackets for the oil cooler. Surprisingly with simple garage tools I was able to make 'em at home and not needing anything from Road Race Engineering...
I took some measurements of distances from the radiator-to-oil cooler, and the oil cooler-to-intercooler... With the oil cooler being almost 2-1/2"in away from the radiator and a little over a 1"in from the intercooler. So I wouldn't think heat soak or radiant heat from either the radiator, oil cooler, or intercooler will effect each other...
These are just the raw pics.
Next up are some photos of the radiator brackets which pull the radiator closer and the tunnel ducting for all the coolers...
Enjoy...

Well here some pics of the ducting. I still need to finish the bottom portion, but the sides are completed...
DRIVER SIDE
PASSENGER SIDE
Also made some radiator brackets to pull it in to sit flush against the radiator support...

With just the side ducting and new brackets I experienced a 20 degree drop in water temp yesterday with ambient temps in the low 90's.... Normal water temp cruising is 180 or so.... So I would assume its benefiting....

Moar parts...
Fuel Injector Clinc 2150cc injectors
and a
Walbro 400lph fuel pumpumps
should provide enough E85 to make some decent power on the 2.3 motor...

I would like to introduce my newest sponsor www.SPOOLINUP.com...!
As we all know Matt's Coil Over Plug non-cdi is one of the best products produced for the Evo. Whether it be for a stock power Evo or to a full blown build such as my situation...
The price is right and the quality, well the pictures speak for themselves...!
Once again I would like to thank Spoolinup for jumping on board...!

hopefully that single pump works for you, you might end up having to add one inline somewhere to keep the pressure up...
looks good... the ducting results is def a good find

Next up is the install of Mr.Fuller of ROBISPEC full spherical bearing kit...
This 14 piece kit will replace all my current Whiteline bushings with ROBISPEC aeronautical spherical bearings and will also include Perrin's "offset - positive steering response system" (PSRS) in the front control arm...
Not only will the setup enable more caster due to the offset-PSRS, it will also remove all the slop that bushings produce...

just noticed your mod list has a new wing, but how did you like the apr 200? it seemed like you definitely had success running with it and without any sort of front splitter. what angle were you running it at?

The APR GTC-200 worked great with the stock/minimal front downforce I had on the car... The wing was setup pretty neutral making the car act equally the same... The clear coat is starting to crack (easily fixable) so I upped the rear a little...

yeah ive seen a few cars be pretty successful with that wing, which is interesting due to the small amount of downforce it actually makes. probably just enough to keep the rear more stable, which is what is starting to get me interested in it. i have seen guys run it with and without a front splitter and get decent results.

Finally took some snaps of the Jared's "binary brake duct brackets"
http://www.binaryeng.com/products%20...e%20ducts.html
You can easily peice together your own brake duct setup well below the cost of any kit out there...
I'll snap a few pics of the entire setup soon...
