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)

Any idea what the oil flow rate is or the length of tubing? And people usually use 1/2" or 3/4" tubing?
I do this professionally (well, not for cars) and to avoid running finite element analysis all the time, built a program for determining convective heat transfer in flowing systems. The original goal was to understand required line heater and heat exchanger sizing but it is applicable to the given problem. If anyone is interested and can provide the above details, I can do a quick calculation assuming stagnant ambient air for the total heat loss in a trombone system. Actually, a radiator probably wouldn't be too difficult to add so if anyone has any details about the later 911 cooler I can probably make a few program modifications and run that as well. |
