Thanks for the data Rich. Pick up a 5.5" SPAL fan and a cheap radiator fan install kit that pushes in-between the cooler fins and you'll be watching those temps drop... or at least stabilize

 

Unfortunately, that eBay company only ships to US addresses. So it's a bit more of a pain from Oz.

I'll be happy with 3 degrees C rise a lap at my local motorsport haunt - as long as the starting temperature is lower. As it stands now, temps just do not drop between runs - so a fan pulling air through the cooler should help a lot.

I've really got to look at fitting an Evo X engine oil cooler too. If this is what's happening with the trans fluid with a (small) cooler, I don't like to think what's going on with the engine oil, which doesn't have one at all.

Update...

Post #3 in this thread now has links to PDF scans of the template I used.

Anyone have a copy of the template 1 and 2 pdf they can email me? I cant get them...

 

Hiya.

A few people have asked if I had scans or plans of these old things. Well...

I've found some old traces I made of the plastic cutouts. It seems I traced around them before shaping them with the heat gun.

Four zipped JPGs are attached to this post. The parts were larger than the A4 scanner I own now, so I did two scans for each side. You'd want to print off a pair, align the two A4 printouts, stick them together to make a usable complete template, and go from there.

Apologies for the low quality. These have sat on top of a cupboard since 2011 - only rediscovered by chance, when I was looking for something else!
