Drive in s4/s5 keeps the trans temps down a lot also

 

Pending. He's waiting to hear back from his installer after the holiday

 

Oh plenty of room!!

 

and yea i tried this the other day and it did help a bit. still over 200 but better than 250f!

 

Trans tuning can also affect it. For example I have my truck setup so the torque converter is essentially always locked, which instantly drops the temperatures compared to an unlocked converter. 250 is definitely getting spicy, if mine pushes much past 220 I try and change what I'm doing.

 

Ok, if it falls through I might have a lead for you.

 

I just did one for a customer. Nice quality kit. It did not interfere with the harrop intercooler.

 

no issues here.

my trans never goes over 195.


well, unless my son drives it and leaves it in gear as he waits 40 minutes for the Galveston Ferry. then it hit 211. kids these days.

 

You added a cooler to yours i assume? Mine is usually 190-200 unless i do a good pull it might see 205 but goes right back down as soon as the converter locks.

 

yes.

the Genuine Cooling product. 15 row.

 

Nice. I still can't believe Toyota got rid of the coolers in 19 and still have not acknowledged that its no bueno for these poor transmissions. I saw about a 25 degree drop on average from putting a cooler in. Wild difference.

 

Is that OEM or a brand? I added the full OEM kit to my Tree. I'm generally under 190.

 

this one...it's all OEM except the cooler.

I got the cooler, thermostat & misc on eBay from the UAE cheap:



Later I got the last pieces & trans filter/gasket. All in was about 550.

 

ALI express has the J O2 restrictors & extenders crazy cheap.

Delivery is 2-3 weeks is the only downside, I may never use them as maybe someone will buy my headers so time was not a thing for me.

 

Left-rear-supercharger-side-wire-harness-mounting-point-delete-mod! lol

 

Technically, it's the right side.

 

There's two. disconnect them both lol. They were a huge PIA to disconnect from the stock manifold for me. I didn't realize they bolted in, and I was trying to undo the clip lol

 

Thank you for all the tranny cooler input!! bought the kit and going to do fluid exchange as well. 190-200 is way better than 250!

 

Oh hell! That's right! I completely forgot about those. Can't see back there ya know. Okay, I'm going to find a mirror that I can stick back there so I know what I'm feeling for. Thanks for the reminder!

 

Even leaving the harness free I got maybe a quarter inch. Still tight by that fuel rail. Fun times...haha

 

Just got @armyoffoo big throttle body adapters for his Harrop in and they're absolutely gorgeous. Got two so I had a spare if someone else wants one.

 

Wow, those came out nice! Can't wait!!

 

Speaking of coolers my truck jizzed transmission fluid all over the dyno. It's all good. Shot out one of the barbed fittings from the thermostat with the hose attached.

 

I do but I'm not seeing those high temps. Usually sit at ~195 but I've hit 220 max. I do notice it seems to affect IATs when it gets hot since it is in front of the other exhchanger. I know my tranny is hot when my IATs are above their normal +27 to +33 range.

 

I have the factory trans cooler which is sort of lacking. With the thermostat pinned open I haven’t seen over 185 this summer. It will be interesting to see what it hits towing 4 hours each way next week, haven’t towed since pinning it open yet.

 

like Silver17, maybe il pin the thermostat every summertime here or when summer hits triple digit temps

 

Looks like Harrop to LS? I'm interested.

 

Mine has been pinned open since day 1, it's cool today, only 112!!!

lol
