Hey everyone, I just picked up a 930 shell in which I am going to do a ls swap into. Over the past few weeks I have been researching the cooling system and what options there are and what I could possibly do on mine. First, the toy jet radiator I am not a fan of the wing so that is out, renegade's is nice and its kind of my worst case scenario at the moment, reason being is I don't really want to make essentially a duct that directs air under the car. So I had thoughts of flipping the radiator and venting through the hood but I don't know how I feel about that look. So I have been thinking, my car has 964 bumpers and is going to have 11in front flares so does anyone have any input on trying to use 996 style wheel well mounted radiators and possibly even the aftermarket center lower radiator? This option has me really curious and I'm pretty sure the room will be there to run the radiator and some fans on each. As I understand the 996/boxster setup is parallel with separate lines going to each cooler, would it be possible to run them in a series say engine out to the top of the left cooler bottom goes to center center to top of passenger cooler and then back to the motor? Any input on why or why not this would work? Any other options that I'm missing? Thanks a lot for any help anyone can give me. All of your projects are great and I love reading them. The craftsmanship on a lot of the builds here is amazing.
Thanks

Jason,
I'm just finishing a LS3 install in my 996. The 3rd radiator that Porsche sells is for a Tip trans oil cooler. I duplicated the cooler and had Wizard Cooling build it. It was wider, longer and thicker than the Porsche 3rd radiator, plus it was cheaper. Wizard was great to work with. I had them make up custom "T" and "Y" to connect to the 2 corner radiators. I'm sure you could use my name since they should have their engineered drawings on hand.
If you want more info, PM me...
