Here's the first test fit. I does need a little trimming and sanding here and there, but it basically went right in and fits. I plan to add adhesive foam trim around the inlet openings when it gets installed for real.

Porsche 911 Performance Handbook, Second Edition, Author - Bruce Anderson, Page 189, End of Second Paragraph:

The connecting hoses for this application should be -12 or larger to prevent restricing the oil flow to and from the cooler back to the tank.

(discussing the addition of a large radiator type cooler for track applications)

...but if you ask him in person he'll say they shouldda said -16 in the book. at least that's what he said when i asked him...

Ok.........so if you use -16 lines, do you need to use a -16 cooler and -16 thermo or is the idea simply to reduce restriction for the long paths from front to rear???

Anybody know what the stock 964 uses to run from front to rear?? If so, how does the factory sizing compare to -12 and -16??

while we're on a oil line kick, does anyone have any preferences on the actual line itself?

Aeroquip, Russell, Earls, don't care, doesn't matter?????

I guess I don't understand mounting the thermostat up front. One of the reasons for a thermostat is to keep from pushing cold oil all the way to the front of the car.

I know the Mocal t-stats let some oil flow through the cooling circuit, but why not mount the thermostat nearer the engine?

Just a question.

I don't beat on my car until it's hot, so none of this really matters.

I'm going -12 on mine, and last I heard SirAndy is as well in his. I'll be putting the thermostat in the engine bay just like I did on the race car I did some work on. I guess we'll see how it works out.

Eastcoaster,

Do you use a mold release on the styrofoam plug before laying up the fiberglass? Or do you lay it up directly on dry foam? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Thanks for posting this process. Your installation looks great. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Absolutely beautiful. Makes my front trunk look like a mess.

I'm running -12 on the scavenge and -16 on the supply. No problem.
