 There is a portion of fan that Porsche uses to route air over the cylinders more effectively, but is left out on most conversions. Will have to be trimmed and adujsted for type 1-4 use but well worth the effort. I will scan you a pic of the part so you will see what I am talking about.Part# 18 on the attached pic

That's a sweet test bed. Without any shrouding for the oil-cooler, I'd be concerned about airflow. Path of least resistance is around the oil-cooler, not through it.

Hi
Nice looking motor. I have about 2,000 ks on a motor in my daily driver/sons car. Its a 1904cc, stock valve heads, mild cam, twin 40 Dells etc. I got rid of the stock cooler and fitted a cooler in the front of the car, doesn't overheat on 30 C plus days, highway or heavy peak hour traffic and warms up quick, I have a fan on it for insurance but its hardly ever needed. Its fitted behind grille in the front apron, but the Kamei blocks it, I'm reluctant to cut the Kamei so the fan is sometimes needed at high speeds. The point I'm trying to make is if your internal cooler doesn't work to well, make sure you fit the external one in a good place. Steve

OK been a while on up dates been busy mainly doing electrics and tidying up bits etc so i thought it was time to try and put the motor in
had a problem with the lower engine studs as they appear to short to go through the Porsche box so need longer ones i think type 2 ones are longer but if anyone can put me right on this i would appreciate it
