Since my /4 will be under the influence of positive manifold pressure, i think keeping the motor cool will be a major concern.
Since I am on a tight budget (who is not these days) I cannot go to extremes with products like the 911 fan conversion or the dual electric fan setup. My dream setup is a horizontal fan, but for now I need to keep the stock 2.0 FI plenum and manifolds, besides, the bevel gears are loud and rob horsepower and the oil fill housing is in the way for a clean setup. Has anyone changed the fan? or modified the stock fan for better flow? i know that some have removed a few fins but I thought that was not good for a motor that might have to idle for long periods of time like in traffic. Can anything be done to the fan housing assembly to improve the airflow? (baffles, diffusers, vortex generators???) I know it would only cool the back of the motor, but I had thought about machining the back of the flywheel to create "fins" that could assist in suppling air to the motor...crazy? yea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE(Zois @ May 14 2003, 07:42 AM) Double rain trays? Don't you mean double grills? I think it was John Rogers that uses a lip spolier on the targa bar....it vents more air from the top of the car, down to the grill(s).....he posts here and should have a pic. No, rain trays. I know what a GT lid is. I want more cooling air, but I want to keep the rain tray function. Has anyone tried it and is it worth it? I don't know if a scoop like that really works, a lot of air spins around there already. That's why they put those pop-up rear wind screens on Merc's. Ever notice how people's hair blows in a convertable? That's how a 914 can get away with the air intake where it is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
