title says it all, have you tried the horizontal fan system from reichert? at the autocross, saw a guy running this setup on a 2.7L type IV monster...

The stock 914 system needs restriction under the cylinders due to the air being laterally fed over the cylinders.
In upright conversions we toss the stock TIV tins and replace them with stock Type I tins that are way less restrictive.. In the testing this freed up 3HP+ and gave more even running temps. All in all: Air volume and velocity are not just the key... Pressure is not just the key.. The key is the perfect mix of both, and finding that mix is not cheap or easy. It will drive a person insane. |
