I have given up on trying to re-locate the factory tranny cooler and instead am going to get the 6 cyl PWR one.

My only reservation is its a LOT thinner than the factory cooler, granted you do get a larger surface area!

I have had some good feedback about where to mount the new tranny cooler etc but was just more wondering about the thickness of the PWR cooler. Should it suffice? the car does not have a tow bar ( hence no towing ) and very rarely is fully laden.

Is it any bigger than the stock S2 one? I had one on my S1 ( the biggest one) and it was fine but I thought the S2 one was about the same. Just buy some more hose and you can put it anywhere you like!

I have the PWR 6cyl trans cooler on my M35.

The gear changes are a bit snappier compared to without it, particularly in the Summer.

I have mine mounted just behind my grill.... constant airflow and seems to work well.

I am ok with the Price of the PWR one , thats no so much of an issue. I am more worried about the thickness compared to the factory one.

And the factory one has F#$ked mountings so I am just giving up on trying to relocate that. I have looked and looked and I did really give it a try , but yeah. giving up on that idea sorry!

get one from an ef foulcan they are pretty much identical to the pwr ones at a fraction of the price i have used them on many cars

From what I understand the S1 cooler is much smaller than the s2. The s2 one is smaller area wise than the PWR 6cyl one but much more thick. the PWR one is maybe 40-50 % bigger again area wise, but as I said only 19mm thick. Perhaps this is all that is needed?

Do you think the 6 will suffice?

Ok guys and gals. Please note that these coolers are supposed to be supplimental to the existing oil cooler, not a replacement cooler. So take note that you cant replace the factory cooler with one of these units.
Sure you can replace the factory cooler with the PWR. If you add it to the original one it will supplement the cooling effect but that's not what you are looking for - you just want to relocate it and it makes no difference whether you place the original cooler in a new position or put an equivalent unit there. Use the PWR - IT WILL BE OK!!

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
