Trans Fan

Ive been thinking about putting a fan on the stock cooler for a while now and its probably going to be my next project. I was just curious of what peoples opinions on it were. Im going to start autocrossing and running at the strip a decent amount this year and Im probably going to run a couple track days too. Its also my DD. So should I just stick with the fan on the stock cooler, add an additional cooler, add a fan and an additonal cooler or should I just be fine with the stock cooler? Also the guys that are running track days and autoxs are u fine without an oil cooler?

a fan on the stock cooler is better than just the stock cooler a lone. If you add some ducting to bring air from the fog light area to the cooler, that will help even more.

Take the light out, some kind of large dia. flex hose. I've read people who rerouted their windshield washer hose to spray the cooler

Read the whole boring thing - my plan changed a bit as I progressed it.

For those of us stateside, SPAL makes an awesome 6" fan that you can usually pick up for around 40-50 bucks on eBay
