GT Cooler Question Options

[RiqueMar]

For everybody out there running a GT style cooler, would you mind posting a few photos of your cooling setup and fans?

Currently re-routing my system to use a SETRAB type cooler (example here: Patrick Motorsports Website) however I don't see any reference to fans, and it doesn't seem as though it's an option to purchase.

Also, appreciate any 'pointers' in the right direction when it comes to vendors that might have similar products / solutions. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi - so for my 2.2 six based GT tribute, I used a Behr oil cooler from an old 300D Mercedes. Sourced from a pick-n-pull. It fits nicely in the space under the shroud, you just have to deal with the metric threads and the placement of the inlet/outlet (one each end; its a single pass, unike the original GT ones which were double pass). I recall it cost me more to have it flushed & pressure tested as it did to buy from the yard....!

So like the GT, no fans used. I run a thermostat near the oil tank and 10AN lines running up and down the rocker panels. In CA weather I rarely see oil temp above 80degC (bear in mind I also have the forced air cooler on the engine too).

Hope this helps? Photos below show build progress; I made a up a long bracket to support it which ends being part of the front end reinforcment. Also, I didn't do the full floor cut out - just two openings near the back of the shroud to vent the hot air.
