My 914 is running a 2056 build, never really had a problem with overheating but I decided it couldn’t hurt to help pull some fresh air into the engine compartment towards the cooling system, Especially if it only cost me $30.98. I have my rain tray removed and the rough part was finding a small enough cooling fan to fit under the lid! I found this one on EBAY for $30.98 shipped. It’s a 12V 80W 7” Slim Reversible Electric Radiator Cooling Auto Fan Push. Hooked up a hot and ground where it only comes on when the keys on and it works great! Just used cable ties to attach it to the wire mesh. I will have to watch my temp gauge to see if it actually drops my temp any. EBAY #183643285998. Not as good as a oil cooling adapter system but I cain’t see where it can hurt anything. Have a great day

I respect your work, so please don't be offended. But that little electric fan doesn't do anything. The fan on the engine is a thousand times stronger. If you have any heat issues, there's something else wrong.

If you have any heat issues, there's something else wrong. Maybe but a 914 gets hot when it is idling @ traffic lights because the fan speed is slow ,an otherwise healthy well tuned engine gets cooled fine when its running along,if the fan moves enough air it could help with cooling but depends on HOW much it moves,the 914 fan moves 300cfm max that's a lot of air. Besides if people didn't try stuff we would have no development of "improvement' parts for our cars,you only need to look @ the many vendors on here that have done just that. |

Like other post I just posted, I don't mean this as an offense. I agree completely that experimentation and development improves the breed but the experimentation should generally be backed by physics and engineering first principles. I say this because there are a number of unscrupulous vendors out there. However, I'm thinking more of the improve your fuel economy by 100% by attaching our special rare earth magnet to your fuel line variety than any specific vendor that supports this forum! |
