Thanks for the info about the radiators.

I've just bought a 912e, and I'm getting ready to *probably* swap in a DOHC N/A EJ25. I worked out that the Subaru swap will cost literally half of what it would cost to build a *reliable* type4 turbo engine to 200 HP, and the Subaru is just about 200 HP out of the box. Plus, it's lighter (even with the coolant) and about an order of magnitude more reliable than a built type 4.

In my case, I really want to have the car looking 100% original, so I think I'm going to build a custom fiberglass front valence, molded off the original valence, but with three ducts (one for each radiator), similar to the RUF style.

I've found this 911 who uses a really similar radiator setup to yours (I stole these off another Pelican Parts thread) He's running 400 HP M97 3.8 liter engine out back, and evidently, these seem to cool it OK.

Thanks for the AWESOME build info, you're an inspiration man.
