Could be even more effective if a hole in the cabin air intake was cut to give a replenishing cool air supply into the cavity. It is in a state of positive pressure at speed due to the airflow against the windscreen. Quote:
I've seen some track cars with it on the transmission tunnel. That would be most ideal I'd imagine. |

on the transmission tunnel, interesting. I'd love to see a picture of this. Seems like it would be harder to work on.

The 'bin' would act as a shield between the heat radiating off the engine block. With no local heat supply it makes sense for it to be quite a lot cooler. With an exterior air supply it should do even better again.
I saw it some time ago during a random google search spree. From memory it was it was passenger side footwell on a RHD track car. If I ever see it again I'll share it. I did just find this though which is similair. http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showt...p?p=1067222409 |

I saw a photo of a guy with a track car who had relocated it to the where the passenger seat used to be. I'm thinking down the line i might relocate it somewhere behind the front seats in conjunction with a rear seat delete. Route the hydraulic lines straight through the trans tunnel or something? So far i've never had a serious issue with it so *touch wood* that's a project for another day far away. edit. i see you found that same photo above lol |

Once i get my kit sorted out with vince i am planning to do the gold heat reflective foil in and outside the bin. Just a little extra work but better for the heat.

How much airflow does the existing position get when in motion? I just got home and opened the hood and stuck my hand down there and it didn't seem too bad at all.
I was traveling at highway/burbs speed with temps hovering the freezing mark though.

Not sure about airflow there but many guys store a spare quart of oil there. I wish I could find where it was, but I remember seeing someone cut a hole into the bin, with ducting running from the front bumper and feeding into the bin, along with the air venting out the fender grill once it passed over the smg pump. Seemed like a cool idea. I am sure wrapping the pump and lining the outer walls in gold foil would help deflect some of that radiant heat as well.

Here are some other additional links from Marco Bleiker's relocation that he directed me to when I asked him about it in the past: http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showp...&postcount=813 http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showp...&postcount=869
