I am getting closer to doing the front oil cooler project in my six. I'm looking at the Patrick Motorsports package. Cooler, GT shroud, and louvered patch panel for trunk floor. Does anyone know anything about this package? Or a better package elsewhere?
Thanks |

hard to evaluate 'better' because you haven't told us anything about the car...
4? 6? street use? AX? track events? race car? |

Sorry JP, Patrick doesn't show the package I am speaking of on their site. (I know, BOOO). I e-mailed them and they sent me the info. The shroud apears to be a glass copy of the GT. I don't know the size of the cooler, I think it is about the size of the orig GT cooler, not real huge. Plus they supply a square, louvered patch panel for the floor (exhaust). The package runs less that $600. On the face it sounds appealing, just looking for past experiance feed-back.
By the way, Hi JP. Have you moved your kill switch yet? HA HA |

Actually I did state SIX in my first post, but you are right more info would help.
I have a 2.7 six now. may be 3.2 in distant future. The car is built to auto-x. Here in the Pacific NW we don't mess around, Our site is an old runway and taxi way. I have seen 4th gear a number of times. Still runs average 60 secs. Next season I am planning on running a few lapping days also, This is 20 min. sessions on a road course at the same site. I hope this helps narrow the scope some. |

On the face of it, it seems like a good buy. I have more than that in the parts for mine. My cooler alone was 300, hoses & fittings about 250, thermo 200.....I like good parts even tho I'm slow (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) My install is a bit diffrent than what you're planning, me thinks. I have no shroud nor hole in the floor, but decent venting.... specially when the hood pops up. That was a great weekend at AX. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) I put a guard over the switch thanks for asking (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |
