Hello,
Im in the process of installing the front oil cooler in my car. The lines run back thru the drivers foot well then down under the left rocker cover. My question is, once you get past the jack post and you want to have the lines turn towards the engine bay, what route do you take with them? Do you just come around the frame or do you cut another hole around the jack post to gain access to the engine bay? Using the heater duct isnt an option. I am using a standard 914-6 oil tank A pix would help out. Cheers |

What kind of lines are you using? I've often used blue soft lines and then either simply wrap under the long, go straight back and use fittings to make a 90 to the thermostat......you ARE using a thermostat right?
I have also gone thru the cockpit and then the fire wall.... |

I have also gone thru the cockpit and then the fire wall.... Yes the thermostat is located in the front truck next to the cooler. I use the same setup that Jim Patrick uses. However I removed the engine oil cooler and replaced it with the 993 oil filter console. So the gravity line runs outta the bottom of the orignal tank. the output of the motor runs to the cooler in the front and then returns to the tank. I had them runnning under the long, but it just looks wrong. Im kinda fussy that way. the right way or no way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Cheers |
