I'm looking to add a second oil cooler at the back of the car/engine compartment...has anyone else mounted coolers in the back? If so, please post pictures and results. This is for engine oil but I'll have to plumb a cooler for the trans too - so either way. I'd prefer NOT to run lines to the front if I can get around that - somebody might confuse me with a conformist. Thanks!
PS: Of interest is how you routed air to the coolers too... Tony |

Thanks Era : I am planning on doing something similar to what you have done with the new and smaller cooler. Thanks.
Brant: The shroud for the puller fan is factory installed and tight...I haven't got a "shroud" yet on the intake side, opposite the fan. I am fabricating one over the next week and plan to feed it with two 3" "ram-air" ducks. So are you saying you ultimately removed the intake/ram air tube? I obviously already have the fan and hope that by shrouding the intake, adding forced air to the cooler + adding a second, smaller cooler that is ducted to ram-air, together they'll bring the temps down to a reasonable level. Sorry for the run on sentence...lol! T |

T yourtwin cooler should help I only shrouded the fan side I did remove both versions of my ram air hoses I was running ram air with no fan Your combination may work better than my setup My 2nd ram air was a scoop mounted to hang out the passenger side window in direct and clean air. Even with that "frontal air" the 4 inch tube was insufficient My oil temps came down more with the puller fan and no ram air But keep trying different setups You will solve it Attached thumbnail(s) |
