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 wntire 10 oc clock, to 12 o clock top portion of the shroud goes away..
When you lose the resistance of the oil cooler and cavity all the pressures inside the shroud increase. That extra air has to go somewhere, and thats normally over the top of 1-2 cylinders... This freezes 1-2 and creates a greater difference between the banks of cylinders- and the entire DTM concept is wasted. Inside that shroud, there are very infinite settings and balances, when one thing is taken away, the entire engine notices it, and things happen... Fitting a DTM with my new, big heads with different fins will require a re-do of the internals of the DTM as well, BUT the differences in power will be worth the hassles to create the jigs to make it work. With an engine internally "Its all in the combo" inside the cooling system the same goes. |
