914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Stock 3.6 oil coolers

Posted by: McMark May 31 2005, 12:47 AM

Anyone have any pictures of a stock 3.6 oil cooler? I'm just curious what kind of surface area Porsche decided was necessary to cool that engine.

Um...they be external.....I use a MOCAL up front and a Carrera one inn the wheel well.

I was unclear. I know they're external. I was wondering what external/up-front oil coolers were run in a stock 3.6.

i had a close look at roger sheridan's setup and he uses 2 huge front oil coolers, with a combined surface area exceeding the area of a V8 radiator from renegade ...

So it looks like what Andy posted is two stock coolers running in tandem. What's the thing on the right?

Well sheeeit, that's a small friggin' cooler. Now to find out the dimensions of it.

Like I said.....I used a stock Carrera wheel well cooler and found that the temps were a bit higher than "optimal"....so I added a 30 row Mocal cooler in the front.

I also plan on installing a full time fan on the cooler in the wheel well. Street temps are fine but on a hot track day the temps can get up there.
