PA FC intercooler, rad, and oil cooler ducting help

Im in the process of ducting my intercooler, rad and oil cooler. Ive made the piece from the bumper to the intercooler but now stumped on how to ducted the rest. My intercooler sits higher that the radiator and oil cooler and I also have an underbelly pan. Id like peoples feedback on my best possible option for making it efficient. The intercooler is an FD ETS intercooler at 3.5 inches deep, Koyo rad and stock fc oil cooler.

Thank You,
Jose Nieves

I've got it that far sealed.I guess the better question is; should I feed the oil cooler a fresh air supply or just box it in so it receives the air after the intercooler? That's is where I'm contemplating my next move.

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with FC's (even though i am using all FC running gear) so its a bit hard to visualise from the pics, but is that how far below your undertray the rad and oil cooler protrudes? If so, i would probably build some more shrouding under there to accommodate.

Also, on my FC oil cooler, i attached about 3" deep aluminium shrouding to the cooler itself. It works great, oil never gets much above 80c and aslo acts as additional heat sink/cooling area - the shrouding is always the same temp as the cooler.

Also, that diagram posted up by SirCygnus is gold.
