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?

The GT fiberglass shroud is the cleanest way to exit the air. Or you can exit the air by cutting exhaust holes in the flat portion of the trunk at the base of the bulkhead. This area is right above the steering rack. The most important thing is to make damn sure ALL the air is passing thru the cooler. The air will try and try to go around the cooler if you dont have it 100% sealed to the air entrance. The exit has some importance (mostly cosmetic) but the big thing is getting all the air thru the cooler.
The sandwhich adpater plate is the easiest/cheapest solution for getting lines off the engine. The other ways to do this require the removal of the stock oil cooler (which doesnt work well if your stuck in traffic in your track car).. I tested this also driving around in the Stanford mall parking lot on a 90 degree day (rare for Palo Alto). The oil temps with NO engine oil cooler would get to 200 deg. if NO moving air was going across the front mounted cooler. I recommend Fluidyne. It has been proven time and time again that the radiator style coolers cool more efficently than the sandwhich style that MOCAL sells. Porsche even uses radiator style on ALL 911's from 1990-1999 when they went water cooled. B |
