The large NACA scoop on
the left side of the standard GII or GIII is a fuel servo air induction inlet.
Some builders, usually GIII, have put a smaller scoop on the right side for a oil cooler. The NACA scoop on the left is molded into the
fuselage.

You might try calling New Glasair, on
the Glasair 2 & 3 they have a larger NACA scoop on the side for oil cooling

are fairly easy to make using a foam mold, plus custom made will conform

Premolded NACA scoop
Does
anyone have or know where I can get a NACA scoop to install on my cowling for
oil cooling?
I tried lancair and looks like the only have the small ones now. I looked at
aircraft spruce and they have some but they outlet is 2.5 to 4 inches. I was
looking for one with a 3 inch duct connection and proper size for cooling the
oil.
Thanks
Bryan
