I'm wondering if anyone has a pic of a successful Radiator mounting inside the engine bay, Thinking along the lines of mounting where the motor compartment lid would be. or just below it with the rain below removed, or a 914/6 gt engine lid(the kind with two grill panels instead of the normal half sheet and grate) Just really wanted to see How much ducting people have used to get decent temps running a subaru motor. I really don't want to have to cut up the front of the car. I am not afraid to fab, and have a subaru legacy radiator that is 3/4 the width of the engine bay opening.
Just a thought. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

Horsepower is directly related to heat or btu's. If the motor makes 300hp it needs a 300hp radiater that flows free. A cold air intake is a lot easier to make than good radiator flow. As many people have stated the 914 with the top off has air coming over the targa into the passenger compartment just like dunebuggies and jeeps. That would be at speed. I think it was racer chris that posted a picture of strings laying flat on his engine grill at speed. At any rate more power to anyone that wants to experiment.
