Was thinkin about getting this fan to add to my tranny cooler and was wondering if it would fit w/o any fitment issues, cuz I hear that the 24k gvw b&m supercooler (the one I have) is the biggest cooler you can use w/o fitment issues, so would I be able to add a fan to it?

ITEM# DESCRIPTION HEIGHT (IN) DEPTH (IN) WIDTH (IN) AIRFLOW (CFM)

30100292 5.6" Fan-Push 5.91 3.86 5.91 295

Thanks in advance for any help!

PS - Would there be another fan or size you would recommend to use?

 

Unless you're not running your tranny lines through the radiator, I don't think it's necessary to run a fan with that big of a cooler. There is a thing as having the trans fluid too cool.

 

I'm running it only on the tranny cooler, my car started as an M6, so I have no lines goin into the radiator, so i'm just a little worried the cooler isn't goin to be enough w/o a fan w/o it goin into the radiator, you know what i'm sayin? Any suggestions anyone?

 

Devon,

I swtiched from a M6 also, I mounted my B&M tranny cooler in front of my AC condensor in the nose of the car. The tranny runs at 175-180* all the time. Even when I do alot of racing and launching off the transbrake I maybe see only 200* max.

The best place for the cooler is as far in the nose of the car as possible. You want the cool outside air hitting the cooler first. And the tranny cooler isn't that big so its not its going to block air flow into the AC condensor/radiator.

I don't really think you will need a fan for the cooler. You should definately install a trans temp guage to keep en eye on the temp. Especially if your racing and launching off the transbrake, the tranny temp multiplies by so many degree for every second you are holding the transbrake and stalling the converter.

When you are at the track you want to flash the converter on the brake at the last possible second. I will hold the brake after I'm staged, but not go WOT until I see the 1st bulb coming down the tree, I hold WOT for the 2nd bulb, then when I see the 3rd, I wait just a fraction of a second and release the transbrake.. BAM!.. I'm gone.

Hey thanks Lee, i'm not sure where mine is, but I think it's in the spot you were talkin about. If I look under the nose, I can see it right at the bottom in front of all the other stuff that's there, looks like the air would go directly up onto it! So anyways, i've been so hecktick with work and gettin stuff on the car, haven't really had much time, but maybe we could get together sometime over the weekend so you can have a look at my car, and me a look at urs, i'd love to see that beast!

 

I'll be racing at Immakolee on Saturday. I have my car on the trailer at my Dads house in Pembroke Pines.

I just bought a new flat deck trailer last weekend so we were installing side running lights last night. I put the car on the trailer and welded in D-rings for the tie downs in the front and rear.

I'll be bring the car home on Sunday to put her in the garage.
