Ordered the smaller setrab unit with fan to replace the oil cooler that was installed when I bought the car (pictures). The new setrab unit is way smaller than I thought it would be. In fact, it's about half the size of what's installed now. I'm pretty sure the bigger setrab unit with the double fans is too big for this space. Anyone see issues if I run two of these smaller units in series? That way I can install them staggered and will fit in that space quite nicely.

Dual SETRAB unit DOES fit in the same location that you want to put yours.
Proof: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-1435-1432508090.1.jpg) In this pic I have headers, but they also fit just fine here with SSI heat exchangers and a muffler. Also keeps oil temps low. Mine went from ~240 to 205. Mine is themostat controlled, with the stat opening and the fans turning on at 180. Zach |

Zach Those fans do a good job of restricting the volume of cooling air through the coolers. Take them out or at least snip off the ends of the tie wraps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
