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) |

The only problem I can see with a lid mounted cooler, is pre-heating your cooling air.
Part of the oil cooling is just running the oil through the "radiator" of the oil cooler. Just like the brass trombone coolers and the 21 row brass coolers, it's the heat transfer running through the tubing that cools the oil. You get into a problem when you get to the extreme thermal efficiency of the oil cooler, and that's where you need the extra air flow over the cooler. I was able to direct mount a 7" spal fan right on the oil cooler, similar to the set up that Dion shows in his post. |
