Ive been mulling this around in my head for a while. Ive read almost all the watercooled topics on here. So if planning on a p51 style belly scoop for the radiator could one run a turbo prop looking engine cowling up front that has the large scoop looking inlet under the spinner for the intercooler. Run the big scoop instead of the side inlets next to the spinner.
Engine is ej25 subaru 4 cylinder with a gearbox. Going on pro composites vision. Im just trying to envision the cowling.
Or... stick with a conventional cowling and run ducts from a plenum behind the inlets to various areas. One being the intercooler, second being oil cooler, third a vent hose blowing air on the reduction drive and another bringing air into the cowling. And last air for the inlet air to turbo.
Figure the big opening under the spinner would feed a plenum instead of 2 seperate plenums on the side cheeks of the cowling.
