anyone ever bothered to measure the running temp of a front-oilcooler?
does it even get hot enough to use it as a heater "replacement"? brad said that he doesn't like the front-coolers that route the air upwards with an exit through the trunk lid because you get all the hot air in the car when the top is off. question is, does it really get that hot? if yes, i could route the air from the front cooler under the hood right into the inside to get some heat. what'ya'think? |

It sounds as though you've done your homework and done your compromises......reality vs ideal....as we all must. Mounting the cooler in the front trunk is a compromise.....air flow vs back pressure....take your pick,eh? A Troutman or Porsche thermostat is about as good insurance against back pressure as there is....due to it's pressure reilef valving. I found the troutman awkward to mount and plumb....see pic...in the space I had available. Thus some 90s both there and at the cooler. Vintage racin' groups seem not to be able to get together on rules structure. Up here guys can run 2.5L 914s....and that ain't enuff against the 240Zs....or so I was told by a 914 vintage guy. |
