I only have 24 in^2 on my oil cooler and it has not (yet) the benefit of our
increased knowledge of how to build a better diffuser. So at 20 in^2, you
should be OK.

Ed,
The oil cooler is getting about 1/3 of the scoop. Its size is about
4.5"x4.5", or 20.25 sq in. I wish that the scoop was larger, but John
Slade
seems to be getting good cooling on his, so I am hoping that mine will as
well.
I still have to connect the hoses, and a couple of the fittings should be
here today, or tomorrow. I hope to do ground testing this week, and
hopefully a test flight by the weekend.
Thanks for the compliment.
Steve

Looking good, Steve.
The oil cooler inlet duct looks a bit small - but hard to tell from the
angle. I presume its on the order of 20 -24 sq inch? I see you have it
situated where the tanks meet in the center which would probably be an
area
of higher pressure given the solid tanks blocking flow to the rear in that
area. The oil tank has a better plenum than I have on my oil cooler so
will
be very interested in seeing how it goes. Very neat work
