After about 20 min of freeway driving under nromal conditions my oil is getting to hot on my 2.0 - 4 now 2056. As a result I've looked at a number of ideas for external cooling in the rear and feel that the best way is really up front though don't realy want to cut into the trunk area. I'm considering removing the fog lights and installing a oil cooler in each of the fog light locations and venting to the rear of the front tires. I'm just in the thought stage after talking with some of the guys at Jeffs celebration Saturday. I realy like the way Andy has done his though just can't bring myself to cut into my new paint or give up my trunk area besides I want to keep her a bit stock looking so I've been looking at a number post here of the set ups in the rear and worry about the efficiency in an area that is heated by the engine, exhaust, and blacktop though certainly less $$ I'm sure. Has any one successfully done this or seen it before? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

After about 20 min of freeway driving under nromal conditions my oil is getting to hot on my 2.0 - 4 now 2056. It would probably be easier and cheaper to find out why it's overheating and fix that instead of trying to band-aid the real problem with an external cooler.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Even a 2056, normal driving, it should not overheat. In my first 914, I installed an oil cooler and it didn't help, turns out it was my temp sender that was messed up, nothing wrong with the engine otherwise. |
