There's going to be some serious overheating issues. I don't see space for a rad fan

like gnat said, there was an article on this in today's vancouver sun.

remember back then porsches were originally air cooled, so no provision for a radiator. the subaru engine is water cooled. since this engine was not turbocharged (ie. no intercooler in the whale tail, and he had to put the radiator somewhere... this was all he could come up with?

i'm not very good at this sort of thing... but how does this ITB setup work, being originally EFI?

maybe there is a slimline electric fan that we can't see in the pics sitting on the radiator?

ITB is fine for EFI.... much like this:


As long as the measurement is via MAP...

EDIT: he has converted the engine to carburetor so ignore what's posted above.

I did some autox and track days with him back in '03/4/5 and yes it did have some overheating issues. I think he got it fixed but I haven't seen Wayne in a while.
