Have you made changes to your 914 body or are you thinking of it?
Here are a number of computer models comparing different body modifications to the 914 and the effects that they have on the cars aerodynamic drag. http://www.cassidy-online.com/porsche914/aerodynamic_aids |

I'd like to see some studies done on the airflow through the engine compartment, with and without the underbody spoilers, with and without a large fan on the engine...
My '74 no longer has a fan on the (air-cooled electric) motor to create suction on the topside, so should I remove, keep or reverse the little flaps? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

...so should I remove, keep or reverse the little flaps? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The little flaps underneath the car on the edge of the bulkhead? Keep 'em. They were put there to improve down flow out of the engine bay. Doesn't matter if you're using a crank driven fan, or an electric one, you still need to get rid of that heated air. -Josh2 |
