[QUOTE="laruei, post: 14679589, member: 70591"] The KC was a complex install I am not really interested in opening back up. Do i have the tools and freon to do it? yea but i have NEVER seen a heat exchanger cool the fluid to 38 degree's when the ambient is in the 70's. Just sayin. As for the complexity and ideas... I dont see it as being all that complex to add a 3rd cooling system. I have all the pieces already, which with Cobra friends was remarkably easy to obtain. I will go ahead and mount a stock intercooler tank under the rad cowl, and a large trans cooler mounted to and behind the stock location heat exchanger (which is currently unused due to KC, but i do plan to hook it up for open track days). The only thing left after that is the location of the pump, which im thinking will go near the fan and ABS module. It can be tied off the stock pump wiring as i think that circuit is large enough to support two low-medium draw stock pumps. We will see on that one. I could always run a relay and separate wiring if necessary. I will have to judge that after install. But even then it would be like 5 wires max. If i had a 160 degree thermostat i would just run the LC off the engine coolant. However i run a 180 (and refuse to go lower), usually see running temps closer to the mid to upper 190's and i feel that's just too hot for the snout to run ALL the time. My only worry is i dont really have any idea how much heat the LC is going to put out so i don't know if my setup will be able to remove enough BTU's. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
