My picture does not show the system mounted properly, as the mount for the oil cooler is also a scoop for air to be forced through the oil cooler when moving. This helps it keep the temperature down a lot when on the move and does not excessively warm up too much when stationary.
I have electronic engine bay temperature guages and my own engine bay only reaches a maximum of 45 degree C when stationary and drops down to 24 degree C when on the move. Even with the oil cooler mounted in the engine bay, this has not increased in temperature at all.
I am running a Mitsubishi Turbo which is 3 times bigger than a Smart Turbo and this is known to glow red with the heat, but I still do not get anywhere near the temperatures reached with a standard car.
The main reasons for all this is that I have extra scoops designed to flow as much cold air into the engine bay and then I have the rear bodywork grilled to let all this hot air out without trapping it in, which a standard smart does. That is why a standard smart runs hotter than mine.
I am very very interested in the Intercooler Scoop as I have fabricated an aluminium scoop for my intercooler, but would buy one of the ones on your site if I knew of the price.
I hope you will understand what I am trying to say, and that someone will be able to let me know how much it will be for me to buy one of the intercooler scoops, as I know we can sell many over here in the UK.
