Hi all, been playing with the cooling of my street beetle that has been built to go straight but I am thinking of making go round bends.

I am looking for advice about mounting the radiator for the inter coolers and the oil cooler. I can't get a big enough radiator in the front on the beam to cool the intercoolers so I am thinking of switching the locations of the oil cooler and radiator.

I know the benefits of having the oil cooler up front but can anyone tell me real time results of having a big radiator above the gearbox under the rear parcel shelf.

It will be ducted with scoops grabbing air from under the car and fans.

The questions I have are:
Will the cooling be effective enough like in the front of the car

How will it effect the balance of the car? It is already rear heavy with the turbo, intercoolers and ice tank on the parcel shelf.

As most of the underneath of the car is flat, will the ducting pushing air up ramming it into the underside if the parcel shelf upset the handling to a point where I will notice it?

Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks in advance,
Heath
