Just wondering what size transmission coolers other guys are running and if you are running one with a fan.

I can get one which is 325 x 350 for $145.00. But I think that would struggle to fit. I will also be getting a hdi intercooler in the future if that makes any difference space wise.

Thanks for any info or links. I don't do a mod until I check what you guys think!

Mine is about 350 x 250, the lines are 8mm. I fit it behind the cooler but there wasn't much room left and it will heatsoak the cooler a bit in traffic.

I fit a trans cooler to my mates xr6 in the side with a thermo controlled fan, it works well because it doesn't cool at all until the fluid warms up. We just vented the hot air out some mesh in the wheel arch.

What front bar do you have? Is there a hole at the side? (not that you need it with a fan)

Hi Andrew

I have the HDI intercooler and found the best place for the Trans cooler was just above the FMIC on a 30% angle back to fit in behind the grill. There is a good Trans Cooler on Ebay that Jetwreck is using in the same position.

This is the link to the thread that shows my trans cooler above the FMIC.

Sorry for the tread hijack.

Thanks for the link Andy, just bought one of these! Exactly the style I'd been looking for, at about half the price. Which line into the radiator bottom tank is the feed line and which is the return? Just so I don't have to pump fluid everywhere to find out.

Cheers, Dale

If you don't like that one though I run a second large PWR one because I no longer have a radiator with a cooler tank....I put it down the in the front left as it was the only place left.

P.S. Don't use the PWR lines supplied.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to grab one of the ebay ones.

Scotty I have an RX stock front bar. So no air holes or anything like that.

Also if anyone wants a K & N filter I picked up one brand new for $86.50 from American auto spares in Strathfield. Pretty good price I reckon.

Now I just have to start putting all the parts I have on the bloody car!

Dale, the return line is the one on the passenger side of the radiator on the lower edge of the radiator.

What problem did you have with the PWR lines?

The one supplied split within 24hrs and emptied the gearbox onto the Pacific HWY on me.....lucky my nose is sensitive as I probably only lost about 2lt's before I realised I had a problem. Might have been a bad batch of lines supplied at the time.....I did ring PWR direct and let them know.

weird ! I used the supplied lines and all ok , even with some pretty tight radius bends in it.

Oh and I put up some pics etc of the PWR 6cyl cooler we used, so far seems all good. Gave the PWR 6 cyl cooler a thrashing in the middle of summer and no gear shenannigans what so ever.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By wizlb · Posted

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
