Trans cooler

[ryan281]

I have a 2003 automatic gt and im planning on putting a procharger on it. I want to put a trans cooler on but there are alot of diffrent types. I wasnt sure which one would work best with my car and the added heat or a procharger. I live in illinois and it is only a summer car

Typically I havent had issues when installing a blower to the stock set-up but a aftermarket cooler is always a good idea. I like the coolers that have the fan but that would be very tight unless you can get it up in the inner fender. The B&M Super cooler is nice, so is the Derale.

So running a cooler that dosent have a fan should be enough?

Yeah but try to get some air to pass at it, there will be no room up front with a 2 or 3 core ATI intercooler. The directions will have you modify the lines anyway so its the perfect time to add a cooler. On race cars we mount them in the rear sometime, but Ive never done that in a street car.

You may be able to sneak it sideways up around the radiator support but it can get tight with the intercooler plumbing.\

Something like this may be needed

A plate type cooler offers low pressure drop and is thermally efficient. It won't plug with bugs as much as finned tubes will. A fan is not required. Mine is plumbed in series with the stock (in radiator) cooler.
