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

Yeah im not sure why your fixing a problem that doesn't exist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
I did like the idea of having the fan run for a bit After turning the car off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) But if its cooler engine your after a front mounted oil cooler will be the best . And if i was going to try to force air in thru the grill Id setup a roof or side scoop /snorkle that would ram air into the engine compartment via ram air (at speed of course) but routed to the carbs not just to circulate air |
