I use my 914 for autocross mainly and have never had a heat problem at all. I want to do some DE's.I have an oil cooler kit( cooler, fan,thermo, filter relocator) that puts the cooler under the rear trunk that is not installed yet. My question is will this be ok for DE? and does anyone have pic's on how this looks installed?

how hot does your oil get now ? what's the ambient temperature at the venues you want to run -- 90F? 125F like the SoCal / AZ folks ?
how big is the cooler ? how do you plan to get cool air to it and heated air from it ? will it be mounted normal to the airstream or lying down flat ? how will it be located in relation to other hot things ? it will probably be better than nothing - not as good as a front mounted cooler. properly mounted with good ducting it should reject "a significant" amount of heat. mounted badly it won't do diddly except add a quart or two to your oil system - which might be enough of a good thing all by itself ... you're looking for the "good enough" solution - especially if it involves parts you've already paid for ... you've gotta try it and see -- and you'll need an accurate temperature gauge to know. |
