Brant, Your installation is beautiful. Looks great.
Do you get much debris buildup on the outlet screens? |

I was worried I might, but actually zero. I thought I would find rubber packed in there, but when we started doing the cleaning this winter I found only 1 pebble on only1 side, and was able to blow it out with compressed air. brant |

Ron, I'd carefully watch those pancake/tubeaxial fans. I've worked with using those things for 15 years in various cooling capacities. They don't take shock very well since they are designed for cooling computers. Most have only sleeve bearings. I see 2 out of 3 are possibly Pabst EBM brand, but can't read the label. They tend to be the best quality in that category, but we get dead fans all the time from being bumped. Keep an eye on them and verify that they are ACTUALLY running.. Also I I may suggest.. the spaces between the fans and the ends of your heat exchanger ought to be blocked off.. otherwise you'll be recirculating the air between the front hood area and outside. A better performer, if you can spare the space... build yourself a little manifold at least a couple of inches deep and mount the fans to that instead of directly on the cooler. That will insure even cooling on your whole oil cooler and better efficiency. |

(IMG:http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/bogeyracing/Kalusto/Porsche%20914%20RS/2004%20projekti/48.jpg) There's just big holes under the tank and one big in a hood. (IMG:http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/bogeyracing/Kalusto/Porsche%20914%20RS/2003/DSCF0058.JPG) Its kind of hard to see from this picture because hood is upside down (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Mika |
