Sure enough, looks like they removed the engine oil cooler entirely, relying instead on the front fender cooler. So why does my 3.0SC, which has a fender cooler, still have the engine oil cooler from the earlier models? Can I remove the in-engine thermostat and swap over to a 964-style setup so I can have that valley for my sensors? It looks to me that if I just plugged the engine oil cooler lines (something like this and I wouldn't even need to tap...) and yanked the thermostat, I could rely on the fender cooler for all oil cooling, no?
(...Also replacing the "auxiliary cooler loop" with a proper rad/fan a la 993)
Or am I massively overthinking/overspending this, and there's an easy and obvious solution I'm missing? |
964 and 993 have only front mounted oil coolers
964 has a blocked off oil gallery that would need to be drilled to run an engine mounted cooler
993 has this drilled and installs a second oil filter in that spot
there are also different console caps used depending on how it's all supposed to work
to eliminate the engine mounted cooler on an SC or 930, you would use 964.107.073.20
to use a second oil filter ala 993 you would use
the difference in the covers is the depth of the inner wall
930.107.073.02
here's the .02 cover top and bottom
