Anyone seen an oil cooler set up put in the front fender forward of the wheel alla 911 Carrera style? Thinking of this for my 2.7 conversion on a narrow body. Pics would be really nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The 911 has a much more open area behind the front headlight than the 914 does, and so I believe there is more airflow. On mine, I seem to remember that there was also a small notch in the front bumper to provide some airflow as well.
The coolers themselves went through several versions. The early ones were just a simple loop (often called the trombone cooler) that allowed the oil to flow back through the lines back to the engine. However, the lines themselves provided surface area for cooling as well. Then Porsche went to the radiator style cooler, and finally added a fan to pull additional air through the cooler. In addition, there were aftermarket kits (Turbotrol by Lemke Design) that added a cooler to the early cars that did not have coolers (mid 70s if I remember correctly). Though it does require some fabrication, I think that a front cooler using the GT style front bumper and valance is the easiest and most effective location for a cooler in a 914. It's really not all that hard to run the lines and put in the front cooler, the parts are readily available. |
