My wife's car is going in for an oil cooler to get it DE ready for 2013 with the goal of having it vintage ready for the fall. Same shop that built the Ginther copy in the FS section.
Pretty sure he uses 2 coolers with fans inbetween (think of the coolers as the bread in the sandwhich). Places it behind the engine. Without using the front there really is no perfect place in a 914. I would check with others in running 4's and see what they have done or email SVRA and ask. You don't want to ge caught up in a rule change or when they decide to forego selective enforcement. |

With the right 4 cyl. exhaust system a rear mounted cooler is very effective.
In a race car I would probably let the cooler hang down just a little lower.  |

Just wanted to say that a front mounted oil cooler is a great way to go. You might not be able to do that (rules), but if you can that configuration is a winner. I haven't seen over 180 degrees with my set up, even after flat out runs as hard as I could go at Medford, on a hot day, in second and third gear. Typical runs there are 4-5 minutes which will be a lot less time than you'll see on the track, but the combination of Nickies and front mounted oil cooler work great. |

I think track work of 20 minutes up to a couple of hours (enduros) really just are not compairable to autox.
the heat sink is just so so much greater its an area where car build and design, are just apples and oranges. (our enduro is 210 minutes on track) |

(our enduro is 210 minutes on track) Your right of course, but before I changed to my new configuration (and motor) I would see very high temperatures. I was thinking (and posted) that if my configuration works for me then it would probaby be a good one to consider for other events, but what do I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
