Ive been thinkg of running a oil cooler to help fight High engine temps, and curious to see who has them on and what type and brand, AND if the oil cooler was real effective or not? Oh, and where did you mount it
I will be installing a trans cooler hopefully this coming weekend and I think that wil help considerably. My trans runs almost way hotter than my engine unless it is a 90* day out, then it is the opposite. I have the Intense TC-350, and I imagine it is generating good deal of heat in city traffic. I think I willl be mounting the trans cooler to the front of the Aluminum subframe and maybe add a valence behind it to pick up the air that the front radiator valance doesnt get. If that works well Ill probably put the Oil cooler there as well. The cooler I ordered for the trans, and the one I will be ordering for the engine oil if this one works out, is from Cool Craft.com A style mainly used for street rods and muscle cars. My engine temps right now are almost always at 180*- 200*, even on a cooler 70* day. I have a 160* thermostat in right now that is brand new. I also have a Electric water pump coming today hopefully
Ive also wondered if the factory water pump is about to crap out on me beacuse of the high temps Ive got.
Thanks In Advance,
Scott
