Installing a serpentine as a gearbox cooler

[Xavier PJB]

Dear all,

I had a right front fender serpentine as an engine oil cooler, and figured out quickly this one not sufficient for track use Therefore I decided to upgrade to 3.2 fender oil cooler.
Now I have this spare serpentine and know it can be placed into the left front fender and used to cool the gearbox fluid, which is 915.

Has anyone have done it ? knows how to do it ? Any pics ?

Cheers

Xavier

Thats what the factory did on the 3.0 RS

Do you have more details on the setup ?

The pump originally drove off the gearbox, I think I saw an electric setup being done by WEVO now. Although they place the cooler in a different spot.

Cheers, was aware, and could use some of the components and complement with the serpentine. WEVo are very very good products (I use some), but expensive.

Any other setup around ?
Iknow Patrick Motorsport provides some oil pump too, then will need to get the parts to get into the gearbox.

I think the factory left side cooler loop is mirror image to the right side, so I'm not sure yours would work without additional modifications.

I believe the easiest part is to moun the serpentine in the left front fender, getting the oil lines into the gearbox should not be tricky. BUT I think the Gearbox case needs modifications to get the oil line in and the one out plus the electric oil pump if any.
