For everybody out there running a GT style cooler, would you mind posting a few photos of your cooling setup and fans?
Currently re-routing my system to use a SETRAB type cooler (example here: Patrick Motorsports Website) however I don't see any reference to fans, and it doesn't seem as though it's an option to purchase. Also, appreciate any 'pointers' in the right direction when it comes to vendors that might have similar products / solutions. Thanks in advance for your help!  |

I think using mb911’s oil lines also help dissipate heat along their length instead of the braided hoses. My conversion just used a Turbotrol cooler in front to control temps with AN-12 lines with good results.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Depends where you live and time of year. if your six is bigger than a 2.7 and it’s over a 100 degrees outside and your stuck in traffic with no air flow, it will over heat no what setup you have. In so cal it can get up to 110 in the summer. AZ and Vegas is worse. |
