I know there isn't a right or wrong way to install (or maybe there is). Just would like to know or get idea's from people that have done this particular install. Is there a prefabbed bracket I can buy? Or do I simply bolt this as close to the front as I possibly can? Using isolation mounts of course.
Also, how is the bottom shroud mounted? I have a few ideas of how I want to mount... just would like to see what others have done. Thanks! Attached image(s) |

Slickest setup I've seen on a street car was done on a GT silver 3.6-liter six conversion (East Coast?) with 996 C4 17-inch wheels. It had a custom resin-looking fiberglass shroud in the front trunk that directed the cooler's exhaust air to the front fender wells. Looked very "factory" in a 908 sort of way, and avoided any lift problems created by directing the air downward. It also made room for a space-saver spare. Car was for sale a while back, iirc.
Best setup I've seen on a 911 put two small coolers in the corners and vented them to the sides of the bumper. Done by one of Penske's main engineers/crew chiefs. Was too effective, apparently, as the engine stayed too cold—like Andy's. A nice problem to have if you are going to have one. pete |
