What oil cooler line kit did I pick up ? Dual or rear ?
Got this from an old man who had store it since the early 90s
I feel like it’s missing pieces He’s looking around for more parts Was told it was a factory dual oil cooler set up 930 S ? Special wishes ? Slant nose ? But I’m Not sure how it goes Maybe rear cooler ? Been searching for hours So far everything to me looks original,stamps, tags and dates Coolers and thermostat are dated 88 The second thermostat had a single digit date Ideas of what’s missing or how it even plumbs ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Looks like a dual fender well oil cooler setup.
Check out Elephant Racing's oil cooler for the stock fuel tank, here: https://www.elephantracing.com/porsche/911/oil-cooling-for-911/oil-cooler-kits/

It’s far from elephant racing
This was packed since the early 90s Very different design from elephant

The photo was of Elephant Racings setup with the hard lines in the trunk. There are a number of settings you can choose to visualize the different scenarios. It's hard to tell from your pictures, if there are extra parts, but it looks like you have some sort of dual fender, hardlines run through the trunk (around the stock tank) setup.
It may not be ER's but is sure is close/similar.

I initially thought I saw two oil cooler kits there - both standard configuration to run down the right side of the car. (Two external t-stats, one sets of hard lines, two coolers both for right-side fender, a couple different configurations for t-stat to tank hoses...I think the way those were assembled was just to save space.) I don't know what the other hard lines are for.
Any part numbers on those? ER would most likely provide guidance / identification if it is their product, just send them some pictures. Last edited by fanaudical; 01-21-2018 at 06:56 AM.. |

Efren,
Maybe this is a goofy or worse, obvious, suggestion, but I think that the assembly containing the "conventional" down-the-right-side-of-the-body oil lines has the thermostat connected to those lines backwards, likely for ease of storage. If reversed, the those short lines would go from T-stat to engine and dry sump tank. Then the other assembly would be to connect the right side cooler to the extra left side cooler, thru the front trunk. Fun mystery. Best regards, John in CT. |

The oil cooler assemblies look "identical" to each other - they are not left and right side assemblies. That would imply they both go in the same fender well - passenger side.
How would that work if this is a true dual setup?

Thanks for the input guys. I’m beyond puzzled on this
THe lines were reversed for storage was an obvious thing from the get go. I should have made that clear But the other lines were as is. I’m trying to figure out how it all goes I’m Just talking about the whole system, In general. As this came off a car “stock” On the concern about left and right cooler being different I also thought maybe the shields should be different but in other set ups I’ve seen them identical, including elephant racing.

These lines are not bent like the ER lines
The ER lines bend at the sides so they can exit the body (cutting holes into the tub is required) These lines don’t seem To looks like that, they are straight forward
