SDU tilt/orientation

Post by Riwi »

Hey!

After looking at the weber university run down of the front SDU, avaliable here: I learned that in order to gain max cooling of the motor the tilt must be right. Looks like the heat exchanger is supposed to be upright/flat when mounted correctly.

I need to tilt my SDU backwards in order to fit it in the car and in order to not have the diff as the lowest part under the car. Anyone tried this? How much tilt did you use and is cooling/oilflow ok?

Hi,

I've got a rear SDU going into a subaru rear subframe and I've been trying to find a diagram etc to show what the tilt angle should be. Did you have any luck with yours?
