after having some experience in building a rice-rocket computer...overclocking etc...I though of applying the TEC units to the oil filter or any other place the oil flows...

this is the reply:

Dear Mr. Jo,
Thank you for your interest in Melcor Thermoelectrics.

Although your proposal is a good idea, I have come accross similar application in the past and the heat load would simply be too high to make TECs a feasible solution. You could do it, however the power draw of the TECs would simply outweigh the benefits of such cooling.

so you would have to have a massive power source to move that much heat...also the TEC unit would have to be cooled with a massive heatsink as well...

Back to the cool collar...

if you have 30 bucks kicking around burning a hole in your pocket...why not...as long as there is decent contact between the cooler and filter why wouldn't it work?

even if there is NO air flow...the increased surface area allow more heat to dissapate...and I am assuming the collar has no insulating factors so I am sure it works...as to how much it cools...who knows...

maybe you can make a RUF CTR ish duct in the rear 1/4 panels and plumb air right over the cool collar as well as to the rear brakes...and the intercooler for your turbo...and the engine oil cooler....and to the heating system...and to the S-tube cooler...
