Hi I'm installing an oil cooler in the front bumper of my '73 914. It's got a 2.4L 4 that's got 160hp & 170ft lbs of torque. I want to install a high capcity oil pump to keep oil pressure respectable. Any advice on who sells a good one? Do I have to drop motor to install it, & is it a simple switch or do you have to modify anything to make it fit? Any advice would be great.

The six cylinder engines don't usually use an external oil pump. The existing pump in the engine case moves the oil through an external thermostat and into either the external oil tank when it's cold, or into an oil cooler after it warms up.
You would use an external pump in applications like a transaxle cooler when the transaxle doesn't have a pump internally. But only then when your usage makes the oil unbearably hot, and/or you need external filtration. Good luck |
