Put a P51 scoop on it. You can buy these beauties off the shelf
as hood scoops from the Hot Rod industry.

  Ok, Groupmates (groupies?) (hmmm...guys and Chrissie?)...

    How's about a P-51 scoop feeding a proper diffuser, stacked air and oil
cooler, exit flap, but with a twist?  Feed the exhaust into the rear of the
scoop where, when the flap is 'closed', the exhaust-powered augmenter does
it's thing to move air (no cooling fan in front of the canards to push air
thru...)?

    What info is available on sizing and shaping the scoop inlet, and
properly proportioning the exit flap?

    Very early rotary E-Racer without a submerged inlet...

We got lots on scoops and diffusers but no data on exhaust powered augmenters.
You will need an inlet area about 20% of the rad area and an outlet area at least
twice the inlet area. Won't hurt to make it three times with cowl flaps.
The diffuser should look like a bell but a simple wedge also works.

BTW make sure the red hot exhaust pipe does not radiate heat to the radiator
as that will defeat the purpose. Ever been around an infra red sun lamp?
