What would be my best solution for adding an oil cooler on the 2366 build I am starting? I've read about coolers that mount under the rear of the car and are cooled with a fan. Is this the right direction?

Thanks Stu, that helps a lot. I really like Trekkor's setup (post #10 in your link). If I go that route, would a GT valence with the stock bumper give me the proper access to the grommet holes he is using for intake air?
Also, silly question time - how should I run the oil lines from the front trunk back to the engine? |

QUOTE(VWTortuga336 @ Oct 9 2015, 06:28 AM)  Also, silly question time - how should I run the oil lines from the front trunk back to the engine? I ran mine through the pass side longs. Some run them under the car, and some go under the rocker panel like the 914-6 GT. Someone on here even made hardlines for that routing. I'll bet that you could even use flared copper for those lines as long as they never took any load that could work harden them and cause them to crack. |

That would be interesting. So how would I put the fittings on to connect to the soft lines from the cooler and to the engine? What kind of flare would that be? |
