Show us your rear bumper or fender oil cooler photo

Has anyone had luck with a rear bumper oil cooler with a fan setup like Setrabs fan pack 920's:

I would have to turn the cooler horizontal with the fans facing up or down.

Would this work Without having to modify the rear bumper? I have a narrow body 89 911. Or any rear fender oil cooler mounts for the narrow body?

Any photos?

Anyone use a fan assisted oil cooler?

The fan assisted cooler is typically on the front. The air cooled 911 has a fan on the front oil cooler from 1986-1998.

Rear oil coolers are usually for the transmission and i've seen fellas mount them under the engine lid similar to how the car originally had the A/C condensor unit mounted under the engine lid grille.

Usually rear bumper coolers get a sour response because the engine has the exhaust system tucked right near the bumper. How's the exhaust plumbed on your LS1?

There's no rear bumper oil cooler "kit" so to speak that i'm aware of. It'd be something you have to fabricate yourself. I would suggest mounting the fans on the bottom of the cooler when horizontal and operate them in a push/suck direction.

Kevin,

I was thinking of the fan pack by setrab with what you suggested that way I am not sucking the exhaust heat through the cooler. Fans would point down, with the bottom of the cooler in the bumper for mounting. The fans are pullers usually. I just ordered some titanium tape to cover my exhaust and hopefully get some of the heat out the back. I wish someone sold a kit for the narrow body fender rear to cool and keep the debris away.

The exhaust on the ls1 is short and to the point. Not a lot of room to mount coolers.

I'll bet you could creatively adapt one of BAT/Mocal's front fender mount kits to go in the rear fender? There's a ton of room in the left rear fender of a 911.

Slant nose Turbos used an Oil cooler in the right rear fender. I haven't looked that closely at one but it looks quite a bit like the front mounted fender cooler with a different shroud on it. That said, they have a fender vent feeding it and a Turbo flare to house it all.

I have seen a couple Rally 911s with a rear oil cooler set up but it wasn't anything reasonable for a street car as it was simply tacked onto the back of the car old school VW bus style.
