Looking to do this in the next week or two & in two minds over where it can be located. Keeping in mind adequate flow to & from the transmission & cooler itself as I don't want the auto starving of fluid due to the distance the fluid has to travel. I've read a few guys squeezing them between the radiator & intercooler although I'm looking to be putting a bigger front mount on down the track so will this be an issue? Behind the fog light seems another choice but I'm worried it won't flow enough air through it as I won't be running a fan setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut some vents into the splash guard if you think it needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in another thread I'll be replicating your method. I understand from reading various threads that you run the lines in a manner that they still have some thermal exchange. Do you find that the supplied amount of hose is enough for your method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I need to do a trip to bunnings for some flat bar and ask the pirtek guy at work for extra hose I'm winning I reckon. In a round about way you're answering the questions in my head.

Looks very clean, I haven't read your threads yet but in what manner do you run your lines? I've been told to run them in the most direct way possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
