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 |

I visited a hotrod shop and saw something like this cooler mounted on the frame.
Seems this would easily fit behind the rocker covers....even two of them could fit end to end. Should be enough, with proper venting of the rocker, to provide plenty of cooling I would think. The hot rod guys swear by them. http://lowbugget.com/inlineoilcoolers.html Rich |
