Here's an interesting cooler set up, done on a 3.0 245hp engine running in cali heat with no issues. Done for an original /6 that the owner didn't want cut up for a front cooler.
What do you guys think? BTW before you totally knock it it was done by Henry Schmidt at Supertec, so the builder does have some credibility.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-26-1286650724.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-26-1286650846.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-26-1286650846.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-26-1286650846.3.jpg) |

I don't like coolers above the engines. Oil drains down when shut off.

Mounting the cooler in the deck lid is not the best location but given our options it works very well.
The customers desires quite often offers some challenges but we were pleased to accommodate his needs. We try not to let the "Perfect" get in the way of the "Good". Cheers BTW: only a small portion of the air used to cool the engine actually comes through the cooler. Picture the ac condenser located on earlier 911 and 930 in the deck lid. |
