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) |

Nice clean install! Whatever works is the perfect solution. Sorry all you armchair engineers, but if it works fine and keeps the motor and the oil cool, then all your BS about 'perfection' is irrelevant. If you want to go down that road, then ditch your aircooled BS motors, because water is FAR FAR more effective for cooling motors.

QUOTE(McMark @ Oct 11 2010, 06:54 PM)  Nice clean install! Whatever works is the perfect solution. Sorry all you armchair engineers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Everyone seems to be assuming that air will be flowing downwards through the cooler - which it will be with the car at a standstill (ref JP Steins test with a towel) - but when the car is travelling forwards the area behind the rear window will be at low pressure and will therefore draw air up through the grill and oil cooler from the engine bay. As long as the cooler is hotter than the air from the engine bay - which at 200 degs it will be - the cooler will have an effect. Looks like a tidy, effective and elegant solution to me. |
