What's the difference?

Series: Trans out -> First cooler -> Second cooler -> Trans in

Parallel: Trans out -> split to feed both coolers ->both coolers merge to trans in

Less pressure build up in parallel versus series. Also theoretically doesn't heat up fluid after it has been cooled off if one cooler is working better than the other.

And yes, T brake builds heat very fast

Gotcha. Makes sense. Whats all done to your 80?

So what are you.doing? Running a line out, and "y'ing" it and running it to both coolers then y them back together?

I just ran mine in series, that's how my old set up was and didn't have any issues, I did go from.a tube/fin cheapy to a stacked plate which should help.

Yea, spent the ~50 bucks for 6an Y fittings so it will be split out of the trans to feed each cooler.

Ryan, its a level 2 Jakes, rated at ~750hp with his manual T brake and a FTI 3400-3600 triple disk converter.

Hmm just wondering where did you read that running trans fluid in series will heat up in the 2nd cooler. I can't really grasp that one. Pushing a thin fluid like trans fluid through a 3/8 line I doubt your going to see any build up of heat in series. Maybe a a bit of pressure. Then again I'm always learning, you have a link?

My thought is that in moving speeds, the front cooler will have fluid cooler than the fan cooler, so if I pump it through the front cooler then to the fan cooler, it will get heated before going into trans. Reverse is sitting in trafffic, the fan cooler will be more effective and rather than sending the cool fluid to the front cooler to heat up, it just goes to trans.

Thats my jumbled thoughts on it. In other news, do not forget that your trans cooler is a male thread out, and actually order the right fittings

Ya I don't know. I guess if your trans stays cool and your stuff don't blow up your good lol. What cooler did you order? I ordered the bm stacked plate ones and they're 1/2 npt female threads.

I wish I had a turbo set up so I could stuff the coolers under the car. I have to chrs 1313 and this is the only place I could stuff mine

Current trans cooler ...its a derale tube and fin double pass with fan


Added B&M plate and fin here...


Hope it cools things down a lot, at worst, it added capacity to the system.

It'll work just make sure the asshole in the other lane is double bulbed before you go putting the brake on. Buddy has gotten screwed by sitting with the brake on building boost while the other guy is just pre staged taking his sweet ass time knowing he's a Turbo car
Only cost him a grand for the race and a couple grand to.fix the trans, what a retard
