Need some ideas for a friend with a 2.4 liter 6 in his 914. He doesn't want to hack into the car and mount a cooler up front and run lines back and forth - wants to keep the body stock with no holes cut all over, wants to keep heat, and its a street driver for fun stuff with all interior in it, not any sort of track car or anything like that.
He's having all sorts of heating problems - oil getting way too hot... What has anyone done to mount a cooler in the back that's worked? Where, how, and what cooler? Thanks |

For a street driver, I wouldn't expect a 2.4 to overheat, unless something is wrong. I know of a street driven 3.2 without additional cooling. I agree, check the engine and tuning first.

QUOTE(McMark @ Aug 13 2013, 01:14 AM)  For a street driver, I wouldn't expect a 2.4 to overheat, unless something is wrong. I know of a street driven 3.2 without additional cooling. I agree, check the engine and tuning first. It just got a complete rebuild literally last week. It ran hot since the beginning when it was installed years ago from a different mechanic/builder. New build replaced a lot of things that the original guy did wrong, but still same issue. Saw temps of 230-240 driving it home from the install, and he does have a cooler on it mounted underneath (I don't have pics). Can't figure out what's going on... |
