S2 oil thermostat housing with 951 oil radiator/lines

[TTM]

Hello,

Here is one for parts geeks ... Can I connect both lines of a 944 turbo oil radiator to a 944 S2 thermostat housing ?

Thanks.

Won't fit, different method of fitting oil lines on the S2 housing, use a turbo(951) housing and it will fit....

Thanks Simon.

Or I could use a S2 radiator instead ... but is it as efficient as a turbo radiator ?

In an ideal world you'd use a Mocal or equivalent as neither 951 or S2 are particularly efficient

Why not just fit a 968 oil cooler. They are deeper , giving better cooling.

Are you sure ? Apart from line connections located on either sides it seems to be pretty much the same as the S2 ...

Though I most certainly won't bother and fit a turbo housing to the block ...
