Default Where do i put the transmission cooler

Has any one put in a fluidyne High flow radiator? I bought a high flow radiator for a 93 -98 supra because its an exact fit but it does not come with the auto transmission cooler so i need a separate cooler and i don't know where its gonna fit especially if its gonna need a spal fan. if any one has done this can u let me know u did it ??

I had a Hayden trans cooler installed and it went in front of the radiator.

You dont really need a fan for the trans cooler. I mounted my B&M cooler on the bottom right corner in front of my radiator

I hate mounting tranny coolers around the FMIC or radiator. I have seen so many install like that , since it's the easiest, but you lose efficiency on both items when you stack them like that, especially when you have an FMIC and Radiator already,

I mounted my oil cooler (same idea) on my passenger side duct. It takes a little more work, but it's a lot better setup IMO.

What ever does it for you .

I do not have to contend with Florida,Texas and California heat.

I might swap things around a bit as the AutoCouture kit is going on this Monday.

Texas heat? It's like 65 here everyday! With rose petals falling from the sky.

But yeah, I'd really recommend extending the lines and remounting it. Can't wait to see pics with the AutoCouture kit, my fav.
