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? |

JP,
thanks for your thoughts... and thanks for the picture too... In my opinion, your smooth 90 fittings are not a problem. It's only the sharp 90's that really kill the oil flow... Nice picture... vintage: our club uses 1972 scca GCR.. (except for additional restrictions on rim size [6inchers]) I'll be classed with 1972 911S 2.4 cars... (except they will have souped up motors) I already know I'll not have the most competetive car, heck the 911's get blown away too from some of the other muscle cars... I was checking lap times and there are a couple of lotus elans running 8seconds a lap faster than my 4cylinder race car.... (72 911's are not really the the top dogs...) Still... I wanted to build another 914 race car instead of an early 911.. and its not for money anyways.. Plus, I want to come out west and run in the porsche 2.0 challenge... I think the car will be able to hold its own for a metal narrow bodied, non-tube framed C production car... Plus, I'm going to have a very detailed and light car which should handle pretty well. especially with the trick suspension, and rear monoballs. (I'll find a way to get under 2000lbs, just wait and see) have a nice weekend.. see ya all monday... brant |
