Looks like an aftermarket deal. I've never seen a 914 with something like that STOCK. That would poke through the fan housing in a pretty akward fashion. Not to mention possible clearance issues with a non-stock distributor, and how much stress might be put on the flimsy oil cooler.

Hi, it is a stock Type IV oil cooler. does not necesarily to be stock on a 914. And forget about the fittings, these can be custom fittings used for a special purpose. The interesting point is the additional holes for the fittings! Cheers, Louis |

looks very interesting but i predict major clearance issues with the fan housing. pure guess is application is some special racing motor without fan housing or highly modified fan housing.

My guess is that it is for an additional external oil cooler used with a 911 style cooling shroud. But I'm just guessing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Actually, there wouldn't be an issue with fan clearance. There is about an inch between the fan housing and the cooler. On Betty's car the AC belt runs there.
It may have been for an external cooler, or possibly a sportomatic 914/4. |

Came from an industrial Type 4 engine..
The only negative point is the wide spacing of the rows of cooling fins. It was made to run steady state with a solid amount of air flow, no acceleration. I have a couple of them. |

fins= surface area. The more surface area the better thermal conductivity.
Basically a given amount of air goes further.... A component without cooling capability is near impossible to be cooled... |
