Thanks that pretty much answers my question for now as I am in the
process of building the ducting
However further information would be gratefully received especially with
respect to ducting and airflow. I figure that once it=99s all set
up it=99s much easier to deal with a cool running engine than a
hot running engine.
I have a tri.
The engine part is a little more complex. My engine is a turbo 912 - a
Colombian adaptation which originated before the 914 came out to cope
with the high altitudes. This has a very similar footprint to a 914. I
normally limit the MAP to 33=9D. I have one in my ICP Savannah
and it works extremely well and it has never overheated but this
aircraft has a HUGE radiator and lots of space under the cowl.
As far as the heat generation is concerned I suspect it is somewhere
between a 912S and a 914. I have the standard Europa 914 kit components
inc oil and coolant rad.
Thanks
Will

Hi! Will,
Since my oil never gets to a reasonable temperature anyway ....... !
The general plan is to have the oil cooler set slightly (about 1.5
inches lower that the water cooling Rad. Also have plans to plug the
gap below both radiators and the bottom of the cowl. When I have time a
friend gave me a thermostat oil controller to elevate the oil
temperature but I need to prove the oil temperature sensor before I
=9Cmonkey=9D with the system. I have a much modified cooling
air intake and also an intake air flap to direct more cold air to the
radiator on a delayed departure situation.
Frans has a wealth of info. on this subject and he may share some of it
with you but we all need to know what Europa and what engine have you ?

The manual shows an arrangement with the oil rad behind the coolant rad.
I seem to recall that the optimum cooling was an arrangement with the
coolant rad above the oil rad such that the oil rad dint receive already
heated air. Is this correct and if so where do I find the pics.
