So, in the process of building my GT style 914/6 I'm working on the oil system. I'm not too fussy and if a part is not apparent, event with the hoods open, I don't care too much if it looks original or not.
The original 914/6 GT cars used a front oil cooler that was a very close relative to the 906 oil cooler. If a 906 cooler is rare and expensive, an actual 914/6 GT cooler must be in the "mortgage your house and promise your next born" category. And I don't mind saving a fe bucks if I can. So I've come across this idea for the front cooler. I bought a 928 automatic transmission oil cooler. The cooling portion (between the end tanks) is 23 inches wide, by 2.75 inches high. The cooler is 1.25 inches thick. Here are a few pictures. Attached image(s) ![]() |

I think that it depends on the size of the engine and what knid of driving you will be doing with your 914.
If you run a 6cyl engine ( and not to hard)with the engine oil cooler still conected then I guess you can get away with this small 928 trans cooler for a little extra cooling, possibly put on on top of the other. I ran a Troutman oil cooler at first and I think that the angle was all wrong, it was very tall and had a steep angle. I would see 275 degrees at the track on the back strights of Sebring. I said to my self it's time to do something before my engine expires from heat. I run 6cyl 3.5Li twin plug engine, After that I had Jarvis build me a front oil cooler from a 944 Intercooler, it works great ( a little big for the size) but it still fits in the original GT front cut out. I also do not have the engine mounted oil cooler, Thats was my solution. I wish you luck with yours. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Quilmes |
