I have a 3.2 that is going in my teener, I really do not want to mount the oil cooler in the front, I like the clean look as it is. I already have a sump in the front as well.
Is there somewhere else the cooler could be mounted and still cool? I live in Florida so the temperture is just below hell right now? The car will be flared, it that helps. Thanks for everyones help. |

First off, what are you going to do with the car? 110+deg track days? Then yes, you need more cooling. I worked on and drove Dave Shepards (GPR) 914/3.2 over a thousand miles, from Laguna Seca to Long Beach to laps at the Streets of Willow. The factory oil cooler is great, and the ONLY time I've ever seen the temp raise above 230 was coming back from Willow, long 5mi uphills, 100deg asphalt, slight pinging with 104 gas.
I'm worried about cooling with my 2.8, but went on a drive a few weekends ago and even in the 90+ heat, only saw 230... and thats a mag case. I'm going to run twin coolers behind the horn grills, i've never seen that done but others have told me its been done. You might not need the extra cooling, drop the motor in, drive it, and you can always add it later. If you need oil lines, I might be making a GT hardline setup here soon. Stay tuned. Cheers, d |
