Scott Thatcher did his radiator in the engine compartment in the space left infront of the engine. His conversion was done way before Renagades setup. It worked great.

Incredible setup and well worth the $6500! I am very impressed!
Trying to source all those parts and get them to work...you are gonna spend way more than that! |

I like the idea of using a stock Sub rad in the engine compartment. That's the only way I'd want to do a water cooled conversion to a 914. I'm not willing to lose my front trunk for the sake of a radiator. |

Cool, nothing better than a PROVEN system from hot AZ!! Soon to be included in the new ej25 NA kit...Complete STAINLESS Header and exhaust system that bolts and exits the stock locations. ($360 option available now!) You ask what about heat?? That has also been solved! We use a TURBO Aluminum Water intercooler in exact reverse operation..to heat the incoming air ONCE again with the STOCK porsche 914 fan motor blowing through the water intercooler that has the lines from the Subie engine that would normally run through the heater core. ( I call this my INTERCOORLER) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The beauty of my proven system is that it keeps everything in the rear of the 914 functioning just like stock! |

Very very nice. Do you have any pics of the cooling solution?
Edit: Talked to Chris on the phone, and got the cooling info from him directly. Thanks Chris. |
