Since I ran a DTM shroud on my 2270 when it was in the bug, I ran T1 air deflectors and they cooled great. Get those on the car, plus their dirt cheap ($3 each or so?)

Damn! That's a lot of air. No wonder the DTM cools so nice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

T-1 engines used deflector tins similar to what you have created, instead of getting a blast of air straight down, you get it straight back. I would think this would help temps at idle if stuck in traffic, since if the hot air was just blowing striaght down, the heat would have a tendency to rise back up and get the engine hotter.

Air guides?...Are you referring to these? They are on the engine, and the engine is in the car now. Just have to hook everything up.

I was referring to part numbers 59, 60, 62 and 63 on this diagram.

Also, with an upright cooling system like that, it may cool better with the type 1 bottom tins than the type 4 tins.

Reiche;
Thanks for the photo....I think I may have those air guides in the shop. I have a dismantled 1.7 engine out there. I'll see if I can make them fit some how. I don't have any type 1 undertins though. The engine has been installed today, and I'm not sure that I could get the type 4 undertins off....But I'll scope it out anyway.
Why do you think the type one tins would be better??

T1 tins are generally better for upright converted motors. I would suggest using them over the stock T4 ones, since they are designed just for pancake cooling.

You can't remove the under cylinder tin from a T4 without removing the pushrod tubes. If you want them out in one pieces that is...

Update...I've made up air guides for the shroud since the stock ones won't fit, and you guys got me all worried!

Tell me what you think.

Well done. I think that will work much better for cooling. If not, you could trim the ends of those new baffles until it does. Do you have a CHT gauge? Keep us posted.

Your dust problem should be solved too.

So vw bus headers/exhaust work on our engines? I thought the heads were different?

Those head pipes are from a 75-77 Bus.... The rest of the system is pure junk..

The Bus head pipes will work and are the same as the 914 right up till August of 1978 when the heads on the bus changed to a square port... The 914 heads are not magical in this area..

As for the tin you have made, it should work fine.. The stock TI engine had a tin just like that and it actually helps draw air from the engine as vehicle speed and fan pressure increases...

BTW- Make sure you run a 4-1 collector with that exhaust, not duals, these engines MUST have a collecteor and the nicer it is the better! I have seen a TWENTY FIVE percent power loss when going to dual exhaust without an collector/extractor on a TIV engine!

Thanks for your comments Jake.
The exhaust system is basically what was on it when I bought the car. I've only put quieter mufflers on it. It is only temporary until I decide which system I want....and can afford.
I want the best I can get, but it must be fairly quiet.

My engine shroud blows the air straight down and blows dust everywhere, so I want to try these baffles I made up to blow it out my rear.

Can anyone see a reason why this would be a bad thing?

Nothing wrong from a Type 3 person's point of view since that is how the stock T3 cooling tin works (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I even use the stock pieces on my 2007cc T3 motor...no problems with over-heating (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
