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 |

Brant - That is what I thought you were saying...conventional wisdom would say the pressure built at 100+ mph would greatly exceed the benefit of the fan (roughly 40 mph) and therefore hurt the coolers efficiency. However, if you've had the the opposite result, I'll give it a try. Thanks to all who have contributed and I'll keep you posted - it will be awhile, most likely, before I hit the track again but time will tell.
Tony I "thought" this would be a decent location since its away from direct heat sources and exausting the coolers hot air downward, away from the intake plumbing. I'm going to try to leave this cooler in place and just direct fresh air into a shroud topside. I failed to share a picture and thought it might help visualize my current setup. Cheers! |
