Since the beginning of this long winter I’ve been planning and collecting parts to make the build more efficient and track ready for summer 2015. Below are some of the parts I’ve collected in the past 5 months which will be installed hopefully in the next month or so depending on weather conditions.. The main focus for the Redarrow project in 2015 will be optimizing the (oil/Water) cooling systems and weight reduction. I believe by optimizing the engine’s cooling system along side the oil cooling system will drastically increase my engine’s efficiency. Hopefully this theory will hold in practical applications.
The oil cooler will be mounted right in front of the battery in place of the red box in the picture below. I know its counterproductive to install a cooler near the hottest part of the engine bay but I’m planning on cutting my carbon hood and installing a NACA duct to direct air flow straight to my oil cooler. This should keep my oil temps at an optimal level during daily driving & lapping.
