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? dr Attached image(s)

Second cooler...only Brad would know!
I'd love to see ideas on how to put an oil cooler in the trunk and still have the installation look good. I don't like oil coolers mounted on the top of the trunk, but how about two NASA ducts mounted on a fiberglass hood, for input, and the same on the bottom with one or two big fans pushing air out of the trunk. Maybe the bottom doesn't have to be anything except a shroud that holds the fan. Sure would be easier than all the effort to put a cooler up front. |
