Its also a large cooler so should be right for temp. My cooler is half the size with a fan and only gets up in temp in traffic. Probably should of just went the large cooler lol.

Expand An oil cooler uses the same principal as a radiator, which is convection. As we know a radiator without a fan that is in a stationary car doesnt work on much convection, only mostly thermal radiation , which isn't very efficient. So what do you think is the answer to your question.

Its a big cooler and gets to about 58-60 degrees max on the pan, shifts fine and cant fault it. Have fitted same one to 2 BAs BTRs with no issues either, spacing lower rad mounts back each time.

Slowxr6t Member 579 Member For: 6y 5m 1d Location: New zealand Posted 04/12/18 02:39 AM Share Posted 04/12/18 02:39 AM Hi guys I have just bought a 2015 fgx xr6 turbo and want to put an external trans cooler on it. How will it get air to it behind fog light? Do you take the fog lights out?

I'm all set to fit one to my FG - using a fan with a thermostatic switch so that the fan only kicks in above a certain temp.

Slowxr6t Member 579 Member For: 6y 5m 1d Location: New zealand Posted 04/12/18 04:39 AM Share Posted 04/12/18 04:39 AM Do you guys rely on air coming through ic etc and going around corner through trans cooler when you mount them behind fog light, have you made any ducting to direct air to the cooler?
