I dont have any photo's of mine, but its mounted up behind the drivers foglight. Have had slots cut out in inner guard for airflow. Couldn't fit it our front due to the Process West cooler.

The installer was a little worried about airflow during summer, so we will see. Might have to get creative making air inlets in the lower grill or doing something around the fog lights.

I'll get some snaps next time the front bar is off.

Just do what I did and take the fog lights out.. I have transcooler driver side and Engine cooler the other

What about some ducting from the corner of the lower grille opening? If you have a grille there, probably won't even see the pipe/ducting.

Dunno what you mean about inner guard old mate :idunno: ..interested to see pics!

I believe he means in the wheel arch guard behind where the cooler sits. I also did this to mine to allow the air to exit behind the cooler.. I have pics somewhere, just have to find it.

Clinton suggested I ditch the flog light as above.

I like the razza dazz of the G6E front though, including lights I don't ever use haha.

I will see how it goes in the summertime. Pretty confident it'll be right.

Cant decide where to mount my cooler...infront of intercooler or punch the fog lights and stick it on the passenger side. Either way a bit of work will need to be done to make brakets ect...hmmmmm

Been thinking about doing this conversion on my ZF.

Anything I should know before tackling it.

Current way of doing it in my head is mount the extra large PWR cooler with fan under the tray of my ute and run 3/8 line with the adaptor barbs from ebay.

Cooler with fans

Fittings for transmission lines

Use a relay to wire the fan up using that thermostat switch. Will cut in at 105degrees even if car is off. Then shut off at 95degrees.

Was going to use this wiring diagram.

This will leave me with both foglights in, no trans cooler mounted near intercooler (wouldnt fit anyway) and I reckon under the tray of the ute would have awesome airflow.

Anyone see a problem with this setup?

Gonna cage it under there? Would hate a rock/ stick to slam it and you lose all your fluid. And how dirty would it get with mud and sh*t? Although Others have done it and I think all good reports...

Im gonna put the car up on stands and have a look where would be best place to fit. I remember when I fitted my catback that there was a heap of room under the tray that would be out of harms way.

Where abouts did you mount yours?
