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)

Most people use the 3/4 inch (though I've been told that 1" is probably better) braided hose. Don't know how much heat transfers through the hose compared with a metal tube, but I imagine that it's a lot less.
As far as room in the fender well, remember that a 911 is quite open in the front fender area as the headlight is mounted in that space. The 914 has a narrow area in front of the wheel as the headlight mechanism takes up that space and is enclosed in the front trunk area, leaving just a narrow space in front of the tire. I don't believe there is enough room for a radiator-type cooler in a 914 fender. |
