Think this guy may be fulla BS but had a 2.7 with no tin and claimed no matter how hard he ran it, the temp never topped 210. Had no front mounted cooler, just the engine mount cooler.
So is he full of it, or are the rest of us stoopid? (No Rick, you be the stoopid one for not calling his BS) |

Race cars do not idle at stop lights. They do not run for long periods of time with their fans turning low speeds. They do not re-ingest air that is warmed up already, because that air is already about 15 miles behind them. Many racing 914s without all of the engine tin also have direct high-pressure cold air ducted directly to the fan inlet. Most of us with street cars do not want a "sewer pipe" running through the cockpit...
Race engines get torn down often, especially the very high-performance ones. Race cars are not street cars. You have to be very very careful when applying things from one realm to the other. --DD |
