Hi, does anyone know if VW T-IV Bus heat exchangers will fit on a 914-4 cyl (and by fit I mean not hit the body or suspension)? I'm planning a turbo install and want to retain the car's heat, but thought it might be better for turbo plumbing to exit the heat exchangers farther forward.. this might allow me to install the turbo somewhere other than the tail w/ 914 factory heat exchangers.....

Right, I wasn't thinking about the opposite engine mounting direction. What about reversed (left side to right) - even if the flanges have to be modified to make it bolt up to the head - they would not work/fit?
Otherwise I might have to look at something from Tangerine but they are pricey, or some other custom heat exchanger from... where? I don't think favorably of using an oil heat exchanger - for one I already have a thermostat-controlled auxiliary oil cooler & second I don't like the fact that in cold weather I'm depending on the cooler oil to keep me warm - when I most need it. I could even over-cool the oil perhaps. |
