I just received the PMS Oil cooler modification tube for altering my 911 cooler to adapt to the 914-6 undercarriage.
No installation information was provided with the part from Patrick so my question to the sage advisors out there is: What length tube should the addition of the PMS tube result in? Then, I assume that a 90 degree AN fitting would be used to make the turn, correct? Any advice would be greatly appreciated prior to me making a modification to my cooler that results in a no-cooler at all condition....

I don't mean to hijack this thread,; but, my suggestion/comment has to do with coolers for /6 conversions. In the past most folks mounted an oil cooler in the front trunk so that air could be ducted to the cooler. Unfortunately, this location for an oil cooler is costly requiring that the front trunk be cut into for the ducts, and that long oil lines be routed from the engine to the new cooler location. Lastly, you end up losing trunk space for a spare tire. Not an optimum design to say the least.
A number of us have gone to small coolers with a thermostatically controlled fan. The cooler/fan package is about one foot square and about 4 inches thick. You install the fan in the engine bay using some shop fabricated brackets. The cooler cost is about $300 plus the cost to fab and install brackets. There are a number of these coolers running on motors at least as large as a 3.2 motor in Texas, the Midwest, and in the West. Those doing a conversion should investigate this design before hacking up the trunk. |
