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?

Three laps on a 2.9 mile track in a stock 73 2.0 and my oil temps (with synthetic racing oil) where in the 250 range on a 90 degree day. I did it as a test. I had ALWAYS mounted coolers in my track cars.. but never had data from a non front mounted cooler car.
My opinion about the cooler mounted under the rear trunk: Dont waste your time. Mount it up front where it will get clean air and not pre-heated engine/exhaust air. There is NO air flow at the bottom of the trunk. B |
