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)

My take is you would have a fair bit of cool air from the spinning action of the wheel coupled by turbulence of the airflow over/under the car.
When you drive in rain isn't a pile of water streaming out from the fenders? Wouldn't it be the same (but invisible) for air flow? QUOTE ...I doubt it would be more effective than a rear cooler Wouldn't the rear cooler (not talking stock cooler) have a lot more warm air surrounding it as apposed to a cooler in the front fender? If you had a custom air dam couldn't you duct some extra air into the fender from the dam? |
