2GPM is decent given the total volume is <1 gallon. Either way 2gpm is much much better than 0gpm =)

Nice work, interesting that the drain/fill plugs are NPT threaded.

Bravo, great job!

Were you able to see where the OEM cooler goes into the transmission?

Nice mechanical engineering right there

Awesome work. Way to take the bull by the horns and run with it. Can't wait to hear how your track day goes.

Yes but the castings are different between tech and track pack transmissions. You can see were they would be but the inlet/outlet would have to be drilled and tapped. And I believe that would only be possible for inlet/outlet closest to the rear. The other inlet/outlet closest to the front is on the bell housing and since there is no pump inside our bell housing, there probably wouldn't be fluid behind that point.

Great work. Keep us posted

Very nice work, I like the attention to detail.
Most would never know what you have done, without being told.
I think this will solve your cooling, enough to do some full track sessions.
Good luck, I can't wait to hear the results. I don't need one, but curious
what your costs were? ( if you don't mind saying)

Nicely done. Looking forward to seeing real world testing results and data. What's temps supposed to be Saturday?

Excellent post. A method to your madness, clear photos, and detailed explanations. Good job!

+1.
SVTDSM- Good Luck testing for goal #1!

That's interesting, I'm sure this will help a lot. As long as the OEM location is shrouded with a passage way for air to flow through you'll be good!

The pump was $189
Cooler $71
Air duct from track pack/R $80
$250 worth of an-hose, fittings, and adapters.:tsk:
About another $50 for miscellaneous aluminum, nuts, bolts, wire, and a switch.

Nice! Looking forward to an update after your track day. Hopefully this solves the heat issues. That's a great overall price too.

Pretty cool actually. 50's on Saturday, and 60's on Sunday. I'll be tracking it both days. But even in those temps guys have reached limp mode in less than 15 minutes. So if I can complete 20 minutes and keep the temps well below the 275-280 degree mark that limp mode seems to kick in at, I'm happy.

Awesome work man, good luck with the track day and testing this weekend!
