Guys:
Tried search but came up empty . I am installing front cooler in conversion. Thought I would make a change from last one. I would like to run lines thru bulkhead and under gas tank (without removing it) and thru blower opening to heater tubes in longitudinals. 1. Can this work If so..... 2. need a specific reference point from which to locate holes in bulkead so as to clear everything . Any and all help is appreciated ... Oh one more ....placing cooler at front inside trunk. Have shroud. CAn I exit air through inner fender wells ( I know I will need holes in side of shroud and ducting ......or is there a better plan. Thanks TOT |

Andy,
I am actually considering re-routing my oil cooler hot air out into the fender wells. Think about it: right now, we vent HOT air UNDER the car, not very aerodynamic, huh? I know at high speed, I can feel the front lift a bit... plus, all 911's have the oil coolers in the front of the fender wells, meaning they are venting the warm air onto the brakes/wheels. But lets be honest, 200 degree air is actually cool compared to the brake temps, and a little extra heat on the tires will get some extra grip sooner IMO. |

But lets be honest, 200 degree air is actually cool compared to the brake temps, and a little extra heat on the tires will get some extra grip sooner IMO. IMHO, under the car is the lesser of the two evils. We've done some substantial testing with the 911 and the worst we got was from venting the air into the fender wells. The brakes got too hot (even with air ducts to the brakes) and the tires were running hotter. That didn't help grip at all, in fact, quite the opposite was true. That's why i'm going to build a shroud and vent out the top of the hood. No hot air under the car, no hot air in the wheel wells. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy |
