Where does everyone mount their trans coolers for a vertical radiator, front mount turbo, with intercooler, and A/C delete?
im planning on running 1 or 2 pusher fans so i was thinking in front or behind the intercooler?
Post pictures if possible...
Thanks

I put mine to the near the passenger side of the front opening on my car. There is a good 4-5 inches between it and the intercooler piping so there is no contact between the two. It keeps the temps down under 200 degrees F.

I am also wondering where to mount a trans cooler. I have no room anywhere around my radiator with the turbo right behind the radiator and pusher fans in front of the radiator. Has anyone mounted it to the back side of the intercooler? I don't really want to mount it under the car because I would be afraid of catching on something you could run over.

Mine is under the rear of the car below the hatch area and is a cooler with a fan. I've got it triggered through HP tuners to turn on when the engine gets to 180. I don't have any pics but the routing is clean and simple, the tranny lines just go to the rear of the car instead of to the front. There is a gap of air also the way the cooler is mounted, so there is more than enough airflow. The car is in the shop right now getting exhaust or I'd go grab a pic for you.

I know its not an f-body (but is lsx powered), you can see mine is mounted in front of the intercooler, you can barely see it in this picture but it just slightly off center to the passenger side.

I've got a fox and I put mine on the driver's side right where the muffler used to be. It has a fan on it that comes on when the engine fan does. Works great so far.

mounting them infront or behind the intercooler do you guys have problems with cooling either intake air for the intercooler(infront) or cooling the tranny(behind it)?
