There is a company they sell bilt on ducts that will fit our cars just google evo brake ducts and they are around 125 if i remember correctly, i also made my own backing plates for the bells to keep and circulate the cool air into the vains, if you need help on the backing plates i can try get you a copy of mine to cut around,Hello there!
Really nice to see others taking their rides to a road course! For the money, there is no other way to get more seat time than an open track day! I also use Carbotech XP10's for track days. I have yet to experience much fluid boil on my setup, but I am not ready for r-compounds yet. I do however have to replace the boots on the calipers between track days as they nearly melt. They are not currently available for the OEM DSM brake caliper, but have you considered titanium backing plates for the Stoptechs? Your brake ducting idea is also a good solution to reducing temps. On my 2g, there isn't much space for ducting, but I have borrowed this idea:

For your cooling issues, the ducting idea is a great solution, perhaps ensure that everything is indeed sealed off. I am also curious is your radiator core is almost too thick when paired with the FMIC. If you have not yet done so, wrapping the water pump pipe that runs underneath the exhaust manifold can keep unwanted heat away from the cooling system.
When making your repairs, you may also want to check out/replace the valve cover gasket as well.
Nice build, look forward to more updates!
