Air cooling.. whats the best place??

[Racelook]

Hello guys!!

I'm thinking of making a scoop, airduct in the roof of my bug. ANd I was planning to make a flexibel tube on the airduct so that the air is going to the engine..

*But was is the best place to let the air into the enginebay (so do you write it ???)... *

I already have that Remmele kind of airducts in the sides .. that air is going to the double carburators..(which i dont have yet).. is there still another place what would have profit of the air from the scoop on the roof, or can i better get the air from the scoop also to the carburatos.

I still have my original 1600 cc motor but that will be changed in the (far) future to a faster one. Till that time the duct wil be closed or almost closed or i direction the air from the engine so that the engine is not going to overcool.. I think thats the best, not??

I hope someone can help me farther with this...

Thnx in advance

Hi,

I didn't want to cut into the lines of my bug so I put 2 scoops under the car with 4" ducting per scoop to my interior oil cooler.

Only problem I see is the ducts pick up small sand particles occasionally and blow them through the oil cooler fins. This is probably because I drive through a construction area on the way to work, but is not a problem on the highways.

Just offering an alternative.
