911 Oil cooling
Kent,
If you have space to add an electric fan that would be my first suggestion - - that is of course if you have the Carrera fender cooler and not the trombone.
The other option is to get more outside air flow to the existing oil cooler. this usually means ducting panels and maybe a new hole somewhere - - like was suggested for the headlight opening.
If you only have the cooling problem at the track then cutting the back of the headlight bucket is a good option, along with some ducting panels to make sure the air flow is THRU the cooler.
We went thru this with my son's race car when we swapped out the 3.2 for a 3.8 (which doesn't have an oil cooler at the engine like the 3.2) - - - we have 3 oil coolers and lots of duct panels and headlight holes - - but then it is a bit warmer here in Phoenix than most places . . .
You might call and talk to Chuck Moreland at Elephant about your particular situation.
Interesting: We had an Aubergine 1972 911T back in 1977 in Kentucky/Virginia - - I am color blind and thought it was Blue - until my wife told me, " You bought a Purple car !! "
Regards,
