Have you figured out the inlet and outlet for the Korean/towing external cooler option?

It sounds like your author is saying a radiator is really a convector. Beetle owners are pretty comfortable with pumped air and an oil cooler.

I'm glad your not letting go of this. I've stalled out. It looks like the 1776 VW motor I have should go in the car I have, and then when the charger and inverter and bits and bobs fall into my lap maybe batteries will be totally different than what I can buy today.

I would like to see the Lexus MGR in the front of a reverse tricycle. A belly tank with the VW Rabbit front sheetmetal chopped down to fit inside. aerohead has challenged me to put a 1/3 scale model it the Darko wind tunnel in 2016. So that's probably next.

How does the increased cooling capacity lead to improved efficiency? You can pour more energy through it. Does the efficiency come from down sized and weighted components?
