DIY GTM Supercharger Oil Cooler Fan Mount for additional air flow

YIPZEE · 07-02-2012, 07:40 PM

Wind Zero, Thank you for this write up. My temp is hitting 250 even when driving my GTM SC Z like a baby to work and back. I did my first oil change yesterday and when I saw where the oil cooler was mounted I spent the rest of the day pissed at the installer and thinking about how to relocate it. I also thought about venting the splash pan (sorry, engine undertray) and ducting the air up to the oil cooler. Then I thought about drilling holes in the fender liner to let air flow thru, but figured water would sling off the tire and into the cooler fins. Thank You for saving me from a bunch of costly mistakes.

Would it be better to have a spacer between fan and cooler so the heat doest omitt onto the fan housing causing more heat and a buffer zone of air around cooler if the fan ever goes out..???

Just a short update and updated the original post with some more information and pictures.

I ordered the 7.5" fan from SPAL and it fits great with the oil cooler. I know it's just an inch larger (that's what she said) but the more air flow over that cooler the better.
