I believe it MUST have the thermostat flaps, but in Texas, not necessarily the thermostat. Without the flaps, air is not directed properly into the oil cooler fins.

thankfully i have the flaps.
As I've read the flaps close off the oil cooler air until it's up to a certain temp. My oil takes quite a long time to heat up. I went after the tin with my HVAC speed tape and closed off everything. Question, it looks like there were holes on the side of the tin for the spark plugs. This means that it's not 2.0L tin, right? Thomas had some really hot converted tin that he needs to sell me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Why is 2.0L tin so rare? are there advantages to running this stuff over 1.7L converted tin? TIN TIN TIN! |

TIN TIN TIN! Take some pics of what you are talking about. The reason 2.0 tin is rare is because everyone wants it. |

Yes, the DTM is standard, stock sheetmetal is an option on all my turnkeys except the lowest performance version of the 2056 that uses stock EFI. |

Jake....would it be completely advantageous to put the DTM on here? Should I focus on other things first?

The tin he is refering to are the two pieces that go ontop of the motor that have the spark plug acess holes. The flaps he is refering to are on the top and inside of the fan shroud. The flaps are connected to the bellows by a wire/cable on the bottom of the engine case on the drivers side. The flaps direct air over the top of the oil cooler when the bellow expandes Again take pics. of what you have then it we can tell you what's missing. |
