Can somebody explain this to me.

If someone on the list put their cooler inside the trunk, they would be flamed out the wazoo.

Found this pic in my 914 test report folio book. The car is Richie Ginther's production racecar that had factory backed support.

The text says they put the cooler in the trunk and that even in the hot CA climate, no problems with overheating. They were running a tweaked 2.0 -6.

These guys seem to know what they are doing, so what do they know that we don't?

Zois used an oil cooler in the trunk of his 914 with a 6 cyl 3.0.... we called it the hot dog grill... a little different set up with a hole in the bottom of the trunk as I recall.... and a fan? He probably has a photo of it somewhere.
