Thread: Crazy tranny cooler Idea

What I'm saying s tube fin coolers are more restrictive than bar plate styles but then yours are mounted vertically which takes more force to push fluid through. M

Already addressed that...

Plus if I tried putting a line in the middle it would be to tight of a radius and kink. MUCH MUCH more concerned with safely routing the lines so one doesn't get damaged and puke out all the trans fluid than I was with shaving another degree or two off the trans temp.

The coolers have a larger ID than the factory steel lines that come on the car. And really? You think that makes any REAL difference being mounted vertically instead of horizontally? My coolers are mounted no higher than the factory cooler inside the radiator, which BTW also runs vertically(maybe an inch or two higher at top but you get the point). You also didn't answer any of my other questions I asked about your other post...




Anyways that car has been gone for like a year and a half now. I've got a pair of LS engines to play with now!!! Did those ZZP LCAs help torque steer much on the GXP? Did you just get the poly bushing stock units or those tube ones they make?

IMO yes I'm all about single pass efficiency and keeping the trans from having to pump harder than it needs to.

And the I.d of most tube fin coolers are the same give or take a couple of mm to the line going in. But in the end will it work better than factory? Absolutely.

The lca's helped but the poly mounts helped more. The lower mounts I fabbed and the upper dogbone mount came from intense. The round bushings I have are poly sway bar bushings since there the same essentially just cheaper
