Since I live in the desert, and I am keeping the a/c for my latest project, I am researching Raby's DTM (down the middle) cooling and FAT Performance's 911 type fan conversion and shroud. The car is already dual carbs so I dont have to worry about clearance over the FI intake tubes.
But, I will also be running a small compressor for the a/c. Initial search tells me the 911 style looks great but doesnt cool any better, and the fit is questionable. DTM should be better cooling, and reviews of the kit for Type 1 or type IV converted Beetles is really good. anyone ever do one of these options in a 914?? |

No personal experience, but Jake Raby generally does impressive work. A 911 type of cooling setup is not as convenient in a midengined application as it is in a 911 rear engine orientation. Do either work better than the original type 4 layout? AC compressors can be added to either I would imagine, and an electric compressor is being developed by some enterprising folks that may work well.
