that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
The fastest T4 conversion is a DTM fan shroud with the surround kit, a type 4 200mm conversion flywheel, beetle clutch (KEP stage 1 PP) and a pair of weber IDF carbs.
Joe Locicero shroud is ok, but will take you a fair bit of fab work. A long time ago I worked on a bug with a T4 fan what a total POS install, ended up changing it to a Sharpbuilt (911 fan). One cool thing I did was when replacing the rear apron was I left it unwelded so the apron could be removed when R&Ring the engine. What I did is a all metal cross between a VW, Joe Locicero and DTM shroud Turned out nice, but I'd never do again just because of the time it took to build. Mine is also a bit of a tighter fit because I used a 911-901 transmission. Here's a pic, bit dirty because it's my summer daily driver. Attached image(s)
