I am setting up my supercharger air, water intercooler. Which will sit under my atkins 7in. The intercooler part is 2 small spearco air/water cores with a custom endtank.

Now for the front mount water cooler.
I was looking at this huge tranny cooler.
tranny cooler

its 10x21x4 with its own mini electic fan, i think it should be sufficent

what kind of pump should i use. I was thinking a low flow low pressure fuel pump.

and, what should I use as coolant? strait water with allittle antifreez, 50/50 coolant, atf?
What?

Not very efficient, just 5/8 tubing. designed to knock peak heat off very high pressure oil.

consider a vw scirroco rad core, 2-pass, mabe custom end tanks. thinner than trans cooler and much more efficient.

pump from spearco. don't get 'flex impeller' or diaphram pumps ... too noisy.

mount against rad, and let rad fans cool both.

use water and water wetter, or if cold, 25+ % antifreeze for corrosion protection.

Kevin is right. that style of cooler is not very efficient. The factory oil cooler would be more efficient. Go find a Hyundai radiator and use it. BDC has one on his air/water intercooler setup. Small unit that is efficient and easy to fit up front. Do you plan on using a reservior of any kind? The larger it is the less critical the cooling capacity of the system radiator. Water would work fine. If you want to get real crazy use straight alcohol with dry ice in the reservoir to get really cold.

I have been thinking of using a rad from like CBR 600 or 900 they have a fan and are small enough to fit up from where the old fMIC would go.


yeah do not get a flex impller type they are going to be loud.


here is the pump im looking at.

street/drift car. I race it at exibitions at brainerd a few times a year.

I have done everything but the engine.
suspension, body, cooling, exhaust, interior, ignition.

all I need now is insane power. and a gsl rear end.

i cant find a electric waterpump to use. I looked on summit but maybe Im looking in the wrong place.

Turbonetics sells them! you could also go to a marina supply store and find a nice bilg pump.

The turbonetics pump is a spearco part # 2-1440
It will flow 6-8 gpm

Be sure if you get a bilge pump that it has a 100% duty cycle and don't go cheap.

Just going from boating experiences.... most bilge pumps compete sound / volume-wise with open-header 13B's...
