Non of the off the shelf kits will give you enough hose for a behind the fog light mount.

I've done 3 of the Mega cools (inc my own car) and all up it'll run you 5 to 6 hundred by the time it's installed but I don't think you can go past it for the combo of size/quality/performance.

Ale Member 249 Member For: 13y 8m 5d Posted 11/08/16 02:15 AM Share Posted 11/08/16 02:15 AM (edited) Definitely looks the heaviest duty: biggest, thickest core, plus the big Fan. Furious performance do a similar kit using Teflon braid and PWR core: http://www.furiousperformance.com.au/retail_catalogue/TCK-FURFALCON_item.html?ref_cat_id=Coolmaster-Trasnsmission $850 and thinner core compared to yours.

If I was paying retail for parts I doubt I'd be able to get it any cheaper.

Stock is 19mm, these are 32mm and come in 2 sizes. I use one as my engine oil cooler. Its similar to ralphs one. Fan draws air. You could always install it here.

Ale Member 249 Member For: 13y 8m 5d Posted 11/08/16 05:54 AM Share Posted 11/08/16 05:54 AM Yeh, not sold that I need one with a fan for my application. Adds a bit of complexity with a relay and ensuring the fan is switched in relation to the oil temp.

It seems to be a really nice bit of kit and no mucking around with wiring or running oil lines etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92294-best-location-for-an-external-transmission-cooler-fg-xr6t/page/3/#findComment-1607522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
