Fluidyne Extra HD 9 row transmission coolers £25+P&P

Recommended Posts

I have bought 9 of these in bulk from the USA as its cheaper to buy this way. I have 6 left (3 for myself) that I can offer to club members at a fraction of the UK price.

 

Ideal for transmission cooling (a pair would work well in the SMIC ducting?) or a single for power steering cooling?

 

Details:

 

Fluidyne Extra Heavy Duty Low Pressure Drop/High Flow 18,000 BTU (17,000 BTU to 25,000 BTU depending on air velocity), 25,000 lbs GVW Rating Automatic Transmission Cooler: Super Performance Part #10029. Only 1" thick by 18" X 8 3/4" Overall. Weight 38 oz. Hi-Tech Patented 9-Pass Design with each tube having 9 channels (please see cross section picture) Provides Maximum Cooling Efficiency: up to 50% more cooling over traditional coolers of the same size, rugged construction. This Hi Capacity Cooler Can be mounted behind the radiator for ease of installation with good cooling results. Selling Just the Cooler, No Mounting Hardware Included. Connect with 3/8" (10mm) ID Hose.

 

UK price for the inferior 6 row cooler is £50 plus postage.

 

I'm giving them away at what they cost me = £25 plus postage at £5. Total £30. If paypal please add 3.2%+20p as I don't want to loose money on these.

 

VAT and import duty has already been paid. So you don't have to worry about that, which you would have done if buying form the USA yourself.

At the time I ordered these I couldn't do group buys.... new club rules :search:

 

Group buy is a good idea, as buying in bulk in 18's is even cheaper :D

 

Would have a long wait (8 weeks) by surface shipping though.

 

Rough price would be £17 each plus uk duty (£2.77) and P&P (at around £4.75 for one or £7.70 for two) if sent cheapest surface mail. Cheaper as shipping cost is not much different between 9 or 18.

 

So, delivered price for one = £24.52 or for a pair = £47.24....... Phew! That was complicated ;)

Sounds good to me. Im guessing you could use these for cooling power steering fluid?

 

Yep, and for the axle on UK cars.

 

2 or more (up to 4???) for auto trans cooling fitted in the SMIC ducting is a good idea too.

 

That's a maximum of 8 per car!! :D

Steve, if you're willing to do it then run it by Mawby. ;)

Apparently the auto trans likes to run as cool as possible. Heat kills the fluid, which in turn stop protecting the clutch packs so they wear out. If the clutch packs wear out then they slip and eventually there is no drive.

 

Both the torque converter and the clutch packs produce heat. The cooler the trans runs, the longer it will last. 9 out of 10 transmission faliures are due to excessive heat.

 

A higher than standard stall torque converter will require as much cooling as possible.
