I have been thinking of fabricating motorized louvers for the front of my oil cooler. That way I can close it at any time to get oil temps up, and open it when things start to get warm. I would also be able to stop any where between fully open and fully closed.

just make a custom little louver rig to put around the cooler

might take a bit of searching to find the right motor to do it though

I am interested if you are able to come up with something I would also consider making one

I have the motor figured out. I just need to decide what materials I want to make it to of. I'm thinking CF or Fiberglass louvers with an aluminum frame.
