Michael, I haven't done any such testing. The radiator and intercooler are completely sealed and boxed and work very well. The old oil cooler did not. I assumed the core was to small based on the experiences of a few other guys running JZ cars on the track. I was wondering if there was an airflow problem inside the wheel area, so hedged my bets by buying a fan/core setup complete.
If this doesn't solve my issues then I am going to investigate a vent either in front of the wheel arch, or out the top of the guard DTM style to ensure the air from the core can exit the vehicle.
The old core, and now the new one are fully boxed in the front side, and open on the rear.
The scrutineers out at Mallala are very camera unfriendly for some reason. They weren't happy with my GoPro being on the car. I doubt they would come at a manomater and camera setup down on the front bar area.
Phil, Paul, I'll check the links out later, the computer is going to shut down for some stooopid update thingo in a couple of minutes.
