    Yeah the AWIC works in almost any situation if designed and installed properly. Nice to see you got great results! Where's your HE located?

    The Heat exchanger is in the front normal location no splitter or ducting at all just the 1 inch exchanger open on top, sides and bottom.

    My plan is to do all the sheet metal work after fitting the body this includes isolating the air going in the exchanger, the exiting air will not be able to get back in the inlet.
    I think any design including the air to air intercoolers or oil coolers or radiators need to isolate the incoming air so it cannot be mixed with engine compartment air.
    I wonder if Bobs rear radiator design even though it had 10 mph air flow if it was recirculating the hot air from behind the car and eventually continued to increase temp? Ducted cold air inlets may have helped...
