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. |

Personally unless it's a race car the stock T4 fan shroud in a 914 works just fine.
I ended up selling the DTM(s) The big T4 nickies engine I ended up installing in my '67 bug. For it I built a custom all steel hybrid shroud. A cross between a DTM, Joe Cali and stock fan shroud. For the 914 it's a 3.0 /6, sort of close to RS spec, that I'm just finishing up and hoping to have on the road for the spring. Jake is out of the parts business, he sold everything to Charles at LN Engineering. http://type4store.com/conversion-cooling-systems.html |
