A cooler is a heat exchanger.

That on the side of the engine (fluid to fluid heat exchanger) cools the trans fluid when it's hotter than the engine coolant. It also warms the trans fluid to a minimum temperature when the trans fluid is cooler than the engine coolant (handy in really cold weather).

From there, the fluid flows to that heat exchanger up front (fluid to air). Just as the hoses connect to that up front, the fluid flows through those little H-pipe looking things. There, depending on the outside air temperatures as well as that of the fluid, the fluid will either go primarily through the cooler, OR primarily unchanged back to the trans.

It's all designed to maintain both a minimum and maximum trans fluid temperature.

Yeah!!!^^^ Been wondering what you've been up to just yesterday. I see you've been making progress in the quest for more power! Any videos?

 

hey jq
what brand of wastegate are you running??

 

when are you gonna put an exhaust on there that will match that wastegate pipe?

 

It's a Turbosmart...they're a little pricy, but supposed to be good up to 2100 deg.

 

Hope this works, just got done with the install of the new turbo. I'm in the process of polishing the rest of the valve covers

 

The day I got it, bone stock with 300k miles and some extra residents that have since been evicted.

 

I thought i posted this but i looked and couldn't find it soooooo,

 

Here's mine stocker

 

How did you polish that top cover up so well?

 

in a nutshell paint thinner of the paint, (NO SANDING OR STEEL WOOL) then put a buffing wheel on your bench grinder and pick up some rouge bars at sears or your favorite over the road truck supply and get a bar stool and a nice tall glass of sweet tea and get to it, OH and some gloves that sucker gets very hot.

you should just get a bunch of those covers and polish them up then sell them for an unreasonable amount of money... id probably buy one.
