I'l be fitting one of these..They are the push on type of cooler, from what I have been told the cooler needs to have threaded pipe fittings,not just cut the trany cooer pipe and slip on 2 hose clamps due to pressures in the line.RobIts all good, I already have the tranny cooler fitted. Its a PWR one.Im just looking for a thermo fan to fit to it when I move it from the front grille area?The little Davies Craig one looks the goods!

I reckon it will be perfect. how good are you with electric wiring. I spoke to simon from extreme ford tuning about running a signal wire from the existing fan wiring and he seems to think that the fan two speed settings is done using varible voltage to alter the fan speed. im hoping to pick up dcsl8 on monday and have a go at wiring it in. I'l put a temp gun on the cooler to check the cut in and out temps to prevent overheating(I dont think that'l be a problem with the bigger cooler) and over cooling with the fan if I have a win I'l take some pictures and fill ya in..... So do you think as the existing thermos have an existing variable voltage setting, it will stuff up the Davies Craig fan motor if its wired in to the existing thermo fan line? It would be really easy if it was ok to run it with the existing fans.Or are you going to wire it separately?? If so how will you control its activation?Oh, and as for the cooler itself, its fitted into the existing piping with Dash 6 fittings and braided lines, so it will take up to 200psi!!!! Not that it will ever get that much pressure, but I dont like hose clamps much! Edited 05/11/05 07:48 AM by Dannopower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
