So I am looking to see what others have done as far as location and mounting of an aftermarket trans cooler with fan.
Thoughts and pics appreciated.

I installed mine behind passenger side driving light and by passed the the side tank in radiator.search threads in FI&Nitrous and you should be able to find pictures there

I eliminated fog lamps and installed the coolers there transmission in passenger side and engine oil on the d/s with 8 inch fans as not enough air gets in true those openings but there's plenty of room.

Opened a 6 inch hole in front of the tires to relieve air pressure from that area and let hot air out. text for pics 305-457-3066

I have fans turning on @ 160 degrees, Summit has a 8" fan draws only 4 amps and blows 2400 cfm

Using -6 an cooler and light Russel's blue trace pro classic hoses.

Cooler with fan. One on each side..........engine oil and trans. Foglights gone to improve airflow.

What kind of coolers are those?
I want to do same setup exactly

realcanuk

A couple good ideas in here (post #13 & #21, but #21 requires coilovers): https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...on-cooler.html

I used the same part + location and it did not work for me. Ran it with + w/o the fan, in the rad and out. None of them cooled trans sufficiently. Was getting in excess of 245*F in 70*F ambients and above 260*F above 80*F. Replaced B&M with a 2 stacked plate Setrabs (50-619-7612) and now max out @ 235*F in the 80*s. Stacked plate type is a must. Build quality of Setrab seems a fair amount better when you view them side by side. IMO, get the better quality and do it only once.

Good luck either way.

Must be something else going on there. With the B&M I don't see over 150 in normal driving and never more than 190 no matter how hard I'm pushing.

Read through this. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...for-13-gs.html

Too long. I remember when that thread was going on.

No need to re read it. All I'm saying is if the B&M can work great for me it should for anyone. I don't know why you said it doesn't.

turboffr

I never said it didn't work. I posted in that thread with pics of my install and results. I was posting this link for the OP to read

realcanuk

No worries. I maybe misunderstood you're post. Thought it says you tried them and changed them out cause didn't cool well.

turboffr

No that wasn't me. That was TKOGTO

realcanuk

Right ! I need to stay off the internet early in the morning...…………...LOL

Terry (TKOGTO) is a road racer. Drives the tires right off his GS and I've seen it first hand at Watkins Glen. So his experience is likely being reported on a race track. And I agree with him.

For those of you that have a trans cooler, what do you think of this Setrab 9 series 20 plate set up ?
