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?? |

I remember when jake shared some of his data the internal routing of air with routing fins made a very big difference in how balanced the cooling was, and many of the 911 shrouds either don't have those fins inside, or they are not in the optimum place.
For cooling in the desert heat, along with the extra heat from the AC, you are asking the right questions. I would suggest that these motors like oil coolers |
