Diff / transfer case coolers

I can pick up a couple of 19 row "oil" coolers for a good price at the moment. I am just curious, as the car is slowly getting to be a majoritly track driven car with occasional street use, if theres any gain in getting two extra coolers and using them as rear diff and transfer case coolers??

Granted the fluids would always be running through them, is there any down side to street driving with the transfer case and rear diff fluids always being cooled (I assume they would get quite hot being continuously flogged on a track)?

Also suggestions on mounting them... I have seen some Japanese based track cars with them mounted under the rear section of the car near the fuel tank. Would they get adequate cool air under the car??

Any info muchly appreciated :rofl:

Yes, but don't forget to factor in the pump, lines etc etc.

see the PDF I posted with the Aus GTR spec transfer case cooler pic in this thread

The short cut doent take me to the PDF - can you send it to me?

thx Mike

Does anyone have a drawing of an oil cooler and oil pump set up for the GTR transfer case and also diff ? - where to pick up oil from the transfer case & diff and where to mount the pump and cooler?

Where do people get their pumps from - Weldon and what other pumps are available that will do the job?

Appreciate any assistance

it would be perfect to cool the diff´s and the center case.

but only do that with thermostat fitted in every system, which allows the oil to warm up quickly. and only if the temp. exceeds 70-80 degress Celius the thermostat open the cooling cycle.

so everything would be fine on street and track use.

i think the temps. of the oil in the diff´s, gearbox and so on should be between 80-100 degrees celsius.

if temps go higer the fluid will become thinner and the system will loose pressure.

Heya all :)

Sorry for the dig, but what came of this??

I have found the following part numbers for the OEM aus-spec transfer case cooler setup but would love to see a diagram/pic of the OEM setup or anyones aftermarket job!

HPI japan actually make a universal transmission and diff cooler kits but looking around $800 a kit but comes with everything. Should hopefully be able to make your own for less then that.

Heya there Luke :)

Thanks for the info. I've come across some extra info and pics.

To get all DIY, there's a '5R Racing' brand pump that's a rebranded VDO 12v high temperature, low pressure, oil pump with an operating temp to 150deg C. They seem to be a bit over $300AUD on the net, so through usual workshop contacts, I'm sure it'll come down to a bit over $200 for the pump alone. I've read they're available through Repco, but I haven't checked as yet (Rocket Industries etc sell them too, but prepare to be bent over).

Weldon also have a #9200-A oil transfer pump that is made for this application, but obviously $$$ unless you know someone with an Earls account ;)

Some extra pics I've found for future reference:

Remember that being a low pressure system, high pressure hoses and fittings aren't necessary as you'll easily blow >$100 on fittings to make something under the car look fancy (and braided hose/fittings are also heavier than pushlock hose/fittings!!)

Just some extra info for now,

Mark :)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
