Would folks with water cooled 914's please post some photos of your radiator set up, and details of what metal was cut for inlet, outlet holes, fan details, etc... also list type / size of motor you are cooling. Looking for proven idea on a cooling system for a Buick V6 engine 3.8 liter. Like to see what has been done for any water cooled engine, V6, V8, Subaru, mazda etc... Thinking maybe a front bumper area inlet, adn with right ducting an outlet/fan on trunk floor. I kind of like Philip hauns set up (Blue Thunder car) but waant to check out other options. The "holy grail would be to locate the enitre cooling system in the engine bay, but I thinkt here is too many space, heat issues. What have you all done? thanks in advance |

anyone with experience with a front bumper area intake, and a trunk floor outlet? (rather than inner fender well outlets) that would be my prefered system I think, as long as it cools ok. I am doing a 3.8 V6.

The intake is just below the front bumper. And there are 2 giant holes cut into the wheel wells. You can sort of see them in the pictures. I'll try to take some better pictures for you. The front intake doesn't seem to be working well for me though. At high speeds 80+ there isn't any airflow and I overheat. Better shrouding around the fan might fix that problem also.
