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?? |

Living in Phoenix, I can say that head temps don't seem to go up until the ambient temps go over 110F. Oil temps are a different story. I need an external cooler bad. I just stopped driving the 914 when it's really hot. This is all contingent on the engine being tuned correctly. If the timing is even a little out, drivability or head temps really suffer. I'm running d-jet though. Carbs will change things.
I'll have my early bay double cab up and running with a type4 and DTM in a couple weeks. I'll try and remember to update this thread with the DTM performance. I've run this exact motor in standard cooling configuration in another bay. I should have some good numbers. |
