QUOTE Plus the big question is, where the heck do you put an intercooler in a 914 without hacking the poor car all up? a 911 is relatively easy, a 914 is not. The trunk is about the only logical place and that would require a whole bunch of tricks and scoops and holes and louvers to get enough air flowing over it to keep it cool. I've seen successful intercooler installations in some cars (not 914s) behind the rear wheels. Works very well in mid-engine cars. There's a fair amount of airflow into the wheel wells. I don't know if anyone has done any good airflow studies showing airflow into the area below the rear trunk. You could also do a water-air setup and run the water radiator up front. I wouldn't look on the intercooler as a magic power device, but as a magic longevity device. Anything you can do to reduce charge temps on an aircooled engine has to be beneficial. |
