Trans cooler

[GodisintheTV]

ok so im getting a trans cooler cause im setting up to spray by next spring. but im not sure which one to get, ill probably go with a hayden like 2loud did, but should i get
light, medium, or heavy duty if i get one of those?

and what are these. and can i use one of these instead theyre more $$ but theyre purdy-

they claim to be better than the hayden style radiator mount coolers, but its ebay, so i dunno

so, what do you guys think?

[2loud2k2xd]

hayden 1401. plenty big enough and not too big.

also, i did not mount on the condensor. i mounted it just behind my front bumper mesh. kinda looks like a small *** intercooler. this way i get more airflow around the trans cooler and i dont pick up any heat from the condensor and radaitor.

[GodisintheTV]

what abouth that blue one, where do you think it mounts? cause its pretty cool lookin.

I would stick with the Hayden cooler, it is designed for what it is meant to do, and it does a damn good job of it. Dont go with a no name brand like the ones you find on eBay. I have the same one as 2loud2k2xd and it is the best out the IMO.

[GodisintheTV]

but the blue ones so pretty........heh jk so yeah that makes sense yamaha, it is a noname cooler. so yeah i guess ill be going with the hayden you & 2loud reccomended. thanks alot guys.

oh and one extremely newb question this isnt bad in winter at all right??

[yamaha]

Nope, you will be fine. I live in Pittsburgh, PA. SO we get some bad winters and I havent had a problem with mine yet.

[DAILLESTWUN]

How much did they cost and is there a DIY on the install?? Any pics of it installed?? thanks guys.

[FordFasteRR]

the blue one is junk.

get the standard radiator-style trans cooler. more fins = more cooling + more area to dissipate heat better : )

[GodisintheTV]

alright thats what ill do then and 2loud and Ford ill be bugging you guys for help the closer i get to spraying :D i cant wait

[2loud2k2xd]

i got mine from ebay for about 35.00 shipped. and in the winter, it might cool the trans fluid a bit more. im not sure of the outcome since i store my car for the winter.

haydens are like 20 bucks, look in 2louds member picture thing, i think you can see it. and i have no idea how to install this ****, im gonna ask around alittle.

[yamaha]

I would suggest installing the unit yourself, or you can find a reputable mechanic to do it which should be about 30-40 bucks. Of couse if you do it yourself you gain more knowledge about your car and always have the pride in doing it yourself.

[2loud2k2xd]

go to elantragtclub, there is a diy from cclngthrr. he posted one up. its fairly easy, except pulling the lower line from behind the radiator and underneath the car.
if you look real good at the front mesh on my new pics (nov cotm) you can just barely make it out. kinda looks like a small intercooler.

you will need 1qt of hyundai trans fluid, extra hose clames and about 6 feet of trans/fuel line to do the install. it took me about 35 min to install.

[GodisintheTV]

yeah i was planning on doing it myself, im pretty sure ill have no problem. thanks 2loud ill check that DIY

[2loud2k2xd]

if you want...pm me you # and ill walk you thru it. its sorta a pita but once you see what hoses need to be swapped its a piece of cake. make sure the bottom hose on the trans cooler goes IN the trans and not swapped around.

alright cool man, ill be buying it today so ill shoot you a PM when it arrives and thanks for the offer man, ill definately hit you up! :)

I did this mod to my 1999 J2 elantra back in the day when I was experimenting with a 90 shot on it...

You will need a few extra clamps and a coupler or 2 to extend the lines.
You'll need a few zip ties here and there aswell.
+ the stuff mentioned above.

cool, thanks for the heads up man. i have a bunch of clamps, might need to go get zip ties though, and the couplers if i do end up needing them.

[DAILLESTWUN]

Is this mod only good for F/I or will it help my N/A ride as well. If so then Ford, i'm gonna need your help on this one... :D

[golfino]

Does this mod cancel the warranty?

[Gregster]

i have a perma cool tranny cooler, i mounted it using zip ties behind the black grill on my 04 elantra. You cant really tell its there, without getting eye level with the grill.

Gregster

[cclngthr]

No it does not cancel the warranty. I installed mine a week after I bought the car an it is even suggested by Hyundai and some dealers. I also added a in-line cooler filter as well.

If you want my help, PM me.

Just installed mine yesterday. Used the Hayden, only thing extra I needed was another 4 feet of hose (as cclngthr says in his write-up). Was not hard at all, took about 45 minutes, would not taken as long but I have mesh over my A/C condenser and had to remove that. The lower hose was not hard at all to get to from the top for me.
Cooler was $26 and the extra tranny hose was about $10.

[GodisintheTV]

got mine last night, gonna try to install today or tomarrow.

[th003g]

ebay seller sent me wrong one hayden 1403.... any difference.. seems to be just a bit bigger...? can too much cooler be a bad thing?

[2loud2k2xd]

the difference from the 1401 and 1403, the 1403 is a tad bit larger. no big deal tho. it will hold a little more fluid also. enjoy the new trans cooler.

[DAILLESTWUN]

Congrats...try to do a DIY...my bad, is there one already...anyway. Take lots of pics with the hood clsed and with it open to see how it looks... :D
