So, I am looking for a front oil cooler for my 914-4. I have priced many out and so far they are on 2 ends of the spectrum. Mocal 13"x5.75"x2" at $130 and the Fluidyne 21"x5.88"x3" at $320 (or is there a better price?). I have heard folks speaking of Mazda coolers, etc. What is the best bang for your buck cooler out there? I am trying to find something that is at least 16-18" wide and around 6" tall. Are junkyards a good place? What cars and where are they?
Thanks, Chris BTW, I am in the South Bay |

Im familiar with the mounting instructions for the Earls type coolers...and they actually recommend against using the mounting ears to mount directly to rigid objects... Ive bought Earls coolers and they came with zip-ties, foam bushings, etc..for mounting...
Ive been down the Earls road... I recommend Fluidyne coolers... they are rugged, and well worth the extra dinero the plate type coolers ( Earls Mocal Setrab) are fine for street use I guess... Track use might need something more rugged. Caveat emptor |
