Space in the 944 is a premium, so I'm trying to figure out options for how best to cool the liquid coolant in the system. I'm currently hoping to use small oil coolers behind the side wings of the front bumper for the battery and component loop, while using a separate set of oil coolers in the back for the motor coolant loop.

And this on the motor loop:

Am I in the ballpark or am I way off base for the cooling needs of a tesla setup.
