Oil coolers ..again Options

[914werke]

So not sure if this has been covered before but lookin at the latest "Excellence" got me thinking.
Has any one ever installed a OE 911 oil cooler in the stock (for 911) fenderwell location on a teener and if so how succesfull-functional was it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Im not interested in cuttin modifying the frt. bumper/valance for the optimal cooler location.

Rich,

Back when I was researching oil coolers I did see a few posts about people who had done this and only had limited success. I put a very small cooler in my front trunk and just cut the space between the three middle holes of the front trunk. I bet you could get away with just pulling the plugs on those holes and letting the air pass into the cooler.

The other very trick setup I have seen was a guy who put two small coolers behind the grills for the fog lights. He ran them in series and got very good results (his was a track car)... you could only just see them if you looked hard, and he didn't have to cut anything I believe.

Finally there was the rear trunk option which Dominic is talking about, I almost did this one, but then realized that I don't care about cutting the front trunk and might as well have the cooler where it can do the most good. I read several reports of people who had good luck with the rear trunk version, but they were all street cars, and I have heard several others who saw little gain, and ended up putting the cooler up front.

Anyway, it would be pretty easy to give the fender option a try, and if it didn't work as well as you like you could always extend the lines into the front trunk...

good luck,

Tony
