Hey guys. I'm trying to decide on where and how to mount a trans cooler. 1st off, I'm doing a stand alone cooler without routing through radiator; have my reasons. 2nd on advice of cooler manufacturer and a trusted C5 member I'm need to go with at least a 34 stacked plate cooler.
The diagram below illustrates 1. (Red) Top center back close to condenser. 2. (Blue) lower right and mounted to crash bar. And 3. (Green) 2 smaller 16 rows ran in series (if possible).
Some concerns that have ran through my mind as I over think this is;
Will the red cooler location block to much air and/or introduce hot cooler air into radiator defeating the effort to lessen the heat stress on it?
Will the blue location have too much surface area blocked by crash bar/fascia to be effective even though there is flow from lower valance moving in and up the surface?
Problems with running two coolers in series more or less effective than 1 big one?
Just looking for any suggestions, thoughts or concerns before I tear into this. TIA.
