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 |

Oh, i agree, out the top of the hood is best, I just don't want to cut into my carbon fiber front hood.... I guess I'm just looking at the fact that just about all 911's (at least from a 964 and up) have the coolers in the wheel wells, meaning they obviously vent there.
I would think under the car would be the worst thing you can do: you are expanding the air and forcing under the car, creating lift. At 140 mph, my car feels like its going to take off! One colder day, I taped off the oil cooler and it felt soooo much better and more planted. Then again, I have actually the opposite problem that I can never get ENOUGH heat in the tires. I run 11' wide slicks up front, and the car is so light, I don't get them heated up. I'm hoping venting a bit of warmer air will help. We'll see.... See sixaddict? There are as many ways to do it as there are people.... |
