Porsche Fan Shroud

Post by MattOtto7777 »

Hey Guys.
I am putting a pair of carburetors on my beetle and I want to know, will adding a Porsche fan shroud to a standard Beetle have any advantages, like better cooling? Because I think it looks rather cool, and adds a lot of room opposed to the standard air shroud. So tell me what you think?

If you have a lot of money to burn why not...... but if you don't have a fan with the right deflectors then you going to fry No 3 & 4 cylinders while 1 & 2 run supper cool. If you just looking at having more space then get a aftermarket 36Hp style fanhousing that can take the dog house cooler and is 100% bolt on.
With the porsche fan you need a elec fuel pump, remote oil cooler, and the right pedistal with oil filler/breather as well as a custom fanhousing all ads up $$$$$.
If you going just for the look, save your money.
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......

yup, as Cal said..

your looking at an instant money pit.
LOTS or relocation and uncertainty..

Looks the business, but not a good deal..
I went on to using a 36hp shroud from the old one and its helped with space. plus its a tighter shroud so gets the air through the head fins proper on both heads.
...low n slow...

Thank you for the advice. I found out what they cost this week and decided that the dog house is a much better value for money.
