Has anyone installed a oil cooler in the Frt right wheel well like they did on the 911's? There are lots of threads on radiators in the front bumper and above the trans.

Thanks

I did the same thing with an air scoop on the rocker panel which as a hose forcing air on the auxiliary oil cooler with a fan mounted on the backside wired on a thermostat. I did mine on the passenger side. I also put in a new exhaust system from Tangerine Racing to get the clearance needed. My oil temps rarely get above 210 even on the hottest days in Atlanta traffic. Downside is I gave up my stock heat exchangers to put in the exhaust system, so it's a chilly ride in the winter. In cooler weather I block the rocker panel scoop with a drain stopper (works great!). Otherwise, the oil will not get to 180.
