Hey all,
so it's become obvious to me that I need a transmission cooler set up. With 330 hp and using a 901 box, it's going to start destroying gears (already did this past weekend at Road Atlanta). So, what is everyone using and how are they set up? What pump & cooler? are you using a resevior/tank? Where is the cooler mounted? and where are you getting the oil in and out of the trans? As you can see, I'm a complete newbie about this, need to educate and do as quickly as possible...I'm running out of transmissions! Pictures would be wonderful... thanks!! |

I'm going through the same decision process now. A related thread that has a long discussion on cooler parts and considerations... my pump choice wasn't either of those...
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...161520&st=0 I'm looking at the huge space in front of the passenger side rear tire because the weight will be forward, low and power is available in the harness a couple of feet away. If my oil tank were up front (possible future project) I'd put it in the left side instead. There is room for a 7in Spal pancake fan, mounting brackets, and a bit of duct-work/rock shielding too. The six exhaust makes it too hot in my book to mount the cooler and pump below the trunk unless it's got long, completely enclosed ducting and I like fabrications as close to simple as I can get. |
