I have a DTM fan shroud (from Jake) and I'm building a 2.6L nickies engine.
If I was to use my DTM in my 914, it would free up a huge space in front of the engine. Just imagine taking the away the stock fan shroud and cooler and how much room you now get. I could mount an aux. cooler, mocal, put in a fan with a thermo switch and even put a plenem up to a GT lid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Good idea? Bad? Would it cool almost as good as a front cooler, or just be a wasted effort? I've always hated the idea of running lines and hacking in a front cooler on my cherry '74. I did get the DTM for my bug, but it will be a few years till I get to it. |

The engine that Charles was playing with made 199 lb/ft of torque...
It has 8mm more bore than stock, and still ran that cool on all 4 cylinders... I just tested another Nickies engine today, it is a stock stroke with 102s.. it made 183 lb/ft of torque and a near flat curve as well... The customer was standing over my shoulder the whole time and saw the temps- he was amazed... the dyno cell was 140 today on top of that!
