anyone have a pic of an oem 951 oil cooler mounted? esp of angles of how the lines are routed. i tried mocking it up but it doesn't go in the right direction.

Well...if I hadn't just ripped mine out...I would be able to take some for you...what doesn't seem to go in the right direction?

so there's 3 pieces. a hard line w/ bracket, two soft lines.

from what i see in the parts diagrams, the hardline bracket bolts to the underside plate of the cooler core. but that puts the other end of the line almost sticking into the tire...

is the cooler core supposed to be mounted horizontally? or vertically? i've just never seen an oem 951 cooler core installed

core mounts vertically on the side of the radiator support, the holes on the core bracket will match up to the rad support.

I assume you want this for you 944 NA?


Here is mine

.

The lines are the stock lines, but I did not use the in the stock locations. It just does not work in the 944. So I used them, but did what I could to make it fit.

krystar

awesome. thanks joe. i'll try that tonite

Yuliang. That location fits the fog light hole perfectly on the NA.

V2Rocket

do you have just the foglight cut out or do you have ducting?


yuliang, i dont know what condition your hoses are in but i would suggest having new hoses made using the factory ends, except you dont need to reuse the hard pipe. dont use stainless though; i have it on my cooler and it is nice looking but not very flexible and is hard to work with.

I cut out entire backside of the bucket.

here is shot showing a little extra ducting to force the air through the cooler.

V2Rocket

cool.

interesting the removal of the valence beam, does it flex much without that bar?

M758

None... however I have that metal debris screen that keeps the lower lip in place and is attached to the bumper. In the photo with lights it is not attached to the bumper since I was changing out the normal bumper for one with lights. The screen helps keep rubber debris and larger rocks out of the radiator and removing the front bar improves airflow. Even so you can see the sand blasting on both radiator and oil cooler.
