Oil Cooler Install Thread

Steve,

The top plug on number 6 was a royal pain. I'll bet more than one person that paid to have their plugs changed didn't get that one done.

ResIpai,

I know what you are referring to on the fender mount. There does seem to be room in the fender. Apparently you can get a cooler in there and it must have worked. Setrab does make coolers with fans. In fact I have one in the garage. It is a smaller cooler with twin fans.

I'm going with the cooler in the front based on past experience with boosted 944 turbos. In the last one I built the intercooler and oil cooler were both mounted in front of the radiator. I had no problems with with water temperature.

Al....

On the fan setup, I did that on my side mounted Audi install... I found it didn't really make any dfference, but I had a large grill feeding air through it..
Might make a difference if flow is marginal, but I agree...Center mount seems best here..We only need to reduce temps about 20 degrees, and the Coolant system does seem pretty stout..
