my trans cooler project c900 Posted by bryan [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
for what its worth, my tranny cooler project is taking the next step. sized up space and mounting issues on the pass. side below headlight area. i'll be reinstalling my airflow kit so i have some spare space in that area.
i've found an optimal position and sized up the length width and depth and seems like a 11W x 8H x 1.5-2D inch heat exchanger will fit nicely with some sturdy but simple fabrication of mounts. for even someone like me with limited tools and experience with any metal work this should be pretty straighforward. it won't hang any lower than stock eng. oil cooler which is mounted on the other side, so im not too worried about it being too big. probably could stretch it a little in the height, but i won't.
i am not sure whether ill monitor temp or not to see where it runs. anyone interested? i'd need someone or others to post their trans running temps and the conditions they drive in. might be interesting to see if a really good exchanger can help the poor 5 speed take the heat.
im guessing around $350 using good equipment when it's all done (oil pump, filter, stainless lines, aluminum exchanger, misc).
