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) |

speculation is fun. well thought out theories based on what we think is happening based on more speculation is also fun
I had alot of thoughts similar to those presented here but the data pointed out reality. lid mounted coolers in 2.0, 2056, 2270 type 4 lowered oil temps on extended freeway runs, AX, DE and time trials. average reduction was about 20 deg. no fan Lid mounted cooler on a 2.7 six was less dramatic but prevented temps from running away while up at willow running 30 min run groups. head temps did not care a bit. I saw NO difference. there are other racer-members here who had similar rusults. |
