Auto Cooler

[Geeseman]

Not very gutter friendly as a few members have found out and have since relocated it

It's inside the guard so it never gets hit by the gutter

Mine is mounted in the front grill behind the Ford logo, in front of my APS intercooler. We tried it there to see what effect it would have on the intercooler, but there is no noticable difference in performance or back to back heat soak tests and the auto trans cooler gets plenty of air in that spot.

It sits a good inch and a half infront of the intercooler so plenty of air can flow around it. I also have the intercooler water spray kit fitted to the ute so a jet sprays water on it to help with the cooling effect.

xrdreaming,

What model cooler is your's ? I have the SS induction flanges that collect the air for the intake so I will need to remove them as they sit where the cooler is, what is the actual size of the oil cooler ?

By the look of the picture the auto cooler sits low enough for the CAI

Am I wrong

As I am also interested in getting a tranny cooler, could you guys also note the type and cost of cooler your using and perhaps where to get them.

Thanks in advance, Clarke

I will call the auto guys in the morning and get details of the type and size of cooler

Mine was about 900 bucks with the transmission mod. it's what im running at the moment with phase III but I'll be doing more to the trans shortly.

The first attached pic is the front of the car showing the old stock intercooler

the second is from underneath the from of the car showing the holes directy below the cooler.

Yeah but that is the old stock cooler. I now have the phase III intercooler.

I assume the stock unit has crap cheap paint that comes off with slight nicks from stones and the like.

At what sort of RWKW do you start to need more cooling (any type). Mine doesnt need SSS cooling its a 6speed but other cooling?

[veczar]

Doesnt the T already have an oil cooling coil in front of the radiator? Would an oil cooler effectively replace this with another radiator for more colling surface area?
