I would think you could maybe run a duct from the fog/DRL hole to the oil cooler, exiting in the wheel well while still having duct work to cool the brakes. Or run the ducting for the brakes off the fog/DRL holes and have the oil cooler get air from the front grill.

The only issue with the fog/DRL area is I remember reading on here that it's not the most optimal area to get air for cooling. But it might work. Obviously you could just put the cooler in front of the radiator and condenser but where's the creativity in that? Lol
In have thoughts of getting some ACS ports I forget the nomenclature but they have one that is split into two pods and you can split what air goes where.

I'll be honest though I didn't get to race like I wanted to last year because of work and I'm starting to think about getting a cheaper track only car. I have delusions of an early 90's MR2 with a Chevy turbo 4 swap. Most things are cheap for that car and I won't give two shits about it. Or so I say... LoL
