I'm curious if anybody has done some testing of running their /4 or /6 with and without an engine lid. Or maybe regular vs. GT engine lid. Any hard numbers to say if there's a noticeable impact given the low pressure zone over the engine bay.

We have seen 914s that ran cooler with no engine lid. I think someone here had done some testing, but I don't remember who or when any more? (Hmm, hopefully I'm not getting that confused with McMark's testing of with/without thermostat flaps.)
It's certainly not a fix for running too hot, but it does seem to help a little. --DD |
