Can anyone tell me what difference is between the two oiler coolers that are listed in the parts catalog for 914-6? My experience has been when multiple parts are listed, one superseded the other and are the same form, fit, function. What is throwing me off is quite a wide difference in price on these. Roughly $500 delta for the places that offer both (e.g. Pelican, Porsche Atlanta Perimeter, Auto Atlanta, etc.)
Thanks. |

So here is the problem IMHO with OEM 914-6 coolers. It requires you to either adapt from 30mm to whatever line your using or use OEM lines which on a conversion would be silly as the adapter is $50 to got to AN or factory lines which comes in a set of 3 that you only typically use the 2 tank to cooler lines and don’t use the 3rd line that connects to the scavenge line which is very difficult to find and does you no good if you doing a front cooler.
Basically my suggestion on a conversion is to convert a good known cooler, use AN lines much cheaper and fit better for most applications |
