Subject: Re: Transmission external cooler placement options by CentralCoaster on 2008/3/4 3:48:41 The cold side of the radiator is much colder than you think, probably 30-40F lower than the tstat temp. But.. it's actually important to keep that in the loop since it helps bring the tranny fluid up to temp. I would put it in series. The temp difference of the radiator cooler isn't as much, but liquid/liquid coolers are VERY efficient, which is why they're so small. I suppose you're putting in a guage too right? Maybe you should do that first and see where its at before doing anything else. They also have billet aluminum heat sink pans, not sure how much that'd help, but Nissan did just that to cure the overheating on their Titan pickup rearends. I was trying to find a tranny cooler writeup at bowtieoverdrives.com that goes into the details but I can't find it. |
