Hello all -
I was wondering if anybody on here has converted the old clutch fan style to the bigger radiator, intercooler, and e-fan (on a turbo). I have heard it is pretty much a bolt on swap, but i do not know what to do with the oil cooler that is right in the way. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

brant

Thanks but these are not for my application as I also want to put in the bigger intercooler and radiator. The problem is relocating the oil cooler as it is the only thing in my way. Any thoughts about that?

thanks,

Only ones I know of. Surely someone will step forward with your answer.

Alright well i guess i could could restate my question.

I am swapping out the old radiator and intercooler for the bigger 92' plus intercooler and radiator which came with the e-fan. Therefore i will also be putting on the e-fan. The radiator and intercooler will bolt on as soon as i get the oil cooler out of the way and relocate it.

Has anybody done this swap? Is there anywhere to move the oil cooler or any other options for an oil cooler? I am unsure what they did in the 92' plus models.

I do appreciate the help Andrew, thanks.

Really not sure, but I would think it is do-able - as all the front ends of 700/900 series other than the lights and grill area (in front of the pieces you mention) all look pretty much the same to me.
I just checked out my wifes 93 940T, and I am sure it has an oil cooler somewhere, just a different place from my 89 760 (dark out and I could not see that clearly). So the answer may be to get the oil cooler, mounting hardware, & hoses from a later model 940, and mount it in the same manner on the 700 series model. I would imagine the oil filter area could be different and require some mods. Other than that it should be pretty straight forward.
You asked if anyone had done this prior. You may be the first.
Be blessed.

Thanks, I am going to give it go. I will let you know how it goes!
