Lastly, and most important modification...
Even with two oil coolers, oil temps were higher than my other normally aspirated cars. This engine makes a lot of power, and therefore, a lot of BTU's! The theory is that air was taking the path of least resistance and was going around/under the oil coolers and not through them. The solution was to enclose the bottom of the car so the air was forced to go though the oil coolers. As an added benefit, we would incorporate a skid plate and a air splitter to aid in downforce.

Did the bottom plate bring temps down?
What normally goes in the spot where you put the turbo oil drain? Great fab work!

After reading through, and thoroughly enjoying this thread (and I just love all your builds Chris!), I am just again amused by the use of the term "Cheap" in the thread title!
Definitely playing the lottery again this weekend!

That is a great piece of fab-work!! Pretty much the same theory there as Porsche moved to with 964/993 under panels etc.. but with the incorporated splitter & skid plate is just tits!

I need to give credit where credit is due. My friend Josh Ewing at Ewing's Customs did all the fab work. This kind of fabrication (art work) is beyond my pay grade!. I just got the car back yesterday so I haven't had he opportunity for a test drive yet. Weather permitting, hopefully I will get a chance in the next couple days. I would be happy with a 20 degree drop in temps  The turbo drain normally has a catch can and a suction feed line going up to the scavenge pump which is located in front of the driver side cam shaft. That pump wasn't sufficient to remove all the oil from the turbo so I was getting blow by into the exhaust. The theory there is that these pumps are really "push pumps" and not "pull pumps" so they don't do a great job of suctioning the line. An auxiliary electric pump cured this when we mounted it below the level of the turbo so it was a gravity feed. However, that added to the amount of equipment and plumbing under the motor. This drain tube will hopefully simplify things a lot and allow me to remove both scavenge pumps.

Very cool Chris (pun I know) I wonder if the inlet is large enough? Curious to read what you find.

That pan is spectacular work. Will it have a drain hole(s) in the fuel tank relief area (for rain water etc)? Someone will say "He won't drive it in the rain" but you do reside in a pretty wet part of the world. John in CT.

Amazing, yes. An engineering feat? Yes! Another masterpiece in the making? Definitely YES. 'Cheap'? In an Orwellian sense, a downright bargain!
 . The pan looks like it belongs on a fighter plane. It's a shame it's under the car. Can't wait to see it in flight mode, perhaps to Sonoma. Just don't melt the front of mine as you hit the afterburners.

Wow Chris. I am in awe at how factory stamped those pieces look. Pure art and craftsmanship.
