Ok so the temps in the 6 are not what I'd like them to be. Could it be tuning maybe, but the 2.4 is running pretty good and the WB says I'm on the rich side.
I purchased a Mocal t stat. I had already purchased a stock 911 one, but it's bulky so I think I'll sell it. Why do some run the lines up the passenger and some up the driver? Is it because the cooler up front only goes one-way? Just preference? Where is the best mounting spot? Pics would be helpful. Andy put his inside the chassis. I'm looking for a more general mounting spot. Can it be installed up in the frunk as I have seen on others? What's the drawback there? Thanks and sorry in advance for the millionth ask. I might do something similar to tomeric, but was just curious about these other things first. |

So my cooler was not tested. It looked clean. I sent it to Ben to have him mod it for a 914. Still untested. Maybe I will send a spare I have out to get it checked and modded.

When you mentioned you didn't have the air diffuser fitted do you mean the one that mounts on the back of the altenator right ?. REAL important part and should be fitted correctly,without it the airflow isn't directed over and around the cylinders via the tin sections. I went thru your build and see you have the heat pipe blank offs ,is your shroud a good fit on the case and around the cooler ?, engine tin rubber a close fit to the body ?. High oil temp can be a sum of many smaller issues,still strange you have this issue my 2.2 sits around 200 in summer and only once did it go to 220 when I had to drive home stuck in 4th after my shifter came loose. When changing to 911 gauges I calibrated them against new 50mm VDO gauges I had,both my senders were new,found oil temp and pressure reasonably accurate enough not to worry but you never know with 45+ year old gauges ?. I'am on my second cooler as my original let go, both them were ultrasonically cleaned ,company that did them said they were both filthy ,I also checked my thermostat was opening fully. Good luck sorting this. |
