Just wondering where you supercharger guys are installing external and trans coolers? I don't want to put them in the front since there are too many items there like the intercooler so I am looking for a good place to mount them.

Also would appreciate any recommendation on which model and where to purchase them. Thanks

Take them out and look up Earls "Curved" coolers. They fit like a glove and look awesome.

BTW: I run them with my OEM coolers remaining. You may also consider cpulling your radiator and dropping in a new Dewiits radiator A05A.

I run a Dewitts radiator with built in coolers.

I was thinking about this but keep reading how people do not recommend the all in one radiator and that I should use a separate cooler for each one.

I believe most people run combined radiators on C6's with turbo's and SC's. There are just too many coolers in the stack causing increased water temps. If heat is a problem I may try adding a second oil cooler in series before the radiator using the fog light port to feed the air. This way I have the radiator cooling the oil in traffic and additional capacity at speeds. 290-300* is common during closed course events.

Thats right - look at Earl's Plumbing "curved coolers". They fil like OEM.

How about a picture or two of Earls cooler install?

Also how about a part number, they have about 30 model/sizes.

Now that you have them installed Paul, it would be awesome if you would finish This post of yours with the Earl coolers, with pics, where you tied them in with the existing lines, etc. Or have the installer/builder do it. maybe some before/after results.

I will try to get some internal pics this weekend.

As far as before after results it is significant. I have not broke 182 deg oil temps on moderate driving yet. I was getting up to 220 before.

VERY COOL - I have been toying with the idea for a while and never use my fog lights anyway.. Are you running multiple coolers in line with the Radiator or just the Earls coolers?

Don't you have the Z51 package on yur car?

I have one without dualfan, it's not as you dream.

OK - The Earl's Cooler to use is 71308AERL (Black) or.................

I have called recently and I beleive they now offer it w/o the 1/2" fittings. They now offer it so the fittings holes are 1/2" NPT and then you buy whatever type of fitting size you want such as 90 degree 1/2"NPT x 3/4" AN (or 12AN). This allows plenty of flow through a larger line and a nice clean package without multiple fittings.
BTW: all my lines as SS braided using Earl's Fittings. USE 3/4" Braided line wherever possible - this decreases pressure in the system and allows a good even flow throughout the system.
One of the "curved" coolers is for trans while the other is for oil.

I have bypassed all my cooling features (trans and oil) in the radiator as it only increases the heat to the coolant. Doing this draws heat away from the Dewitts radiator and it is, in my case, only use to cool the coolant. I also run dual fans. This works excellent w/the exception of the fact the the OEM connector is not designed to run the fans over 85%. I designed and installed a connector which allows me to run the fans at 100% (if desired, I run mine at 95%) w/o fear of the connectors "breaking down" and melting. Just Wrap in mastic tape and shrink tubing for a water-tite package (1 negative, 1 positive). The connectors I made are of solid aluminum as they conduct very well w/o corroding.







Finally, I run a third oil cooler underneeth the car. It is a tub/Fin type.






This cooler is from SUMMIT Racing (brand is Derale) and I have it mounted under the car . I took out my leafsprings for coilovers and it leaves a nice pocket to slip this into (with some alum.metal/bending work). It is used for oil cooling. I will take a picture and post it.

Very hard to get pics w/o jacking the car - I will do that so y'all can see the line also.

The scoop is foward facing and creates a mini tornadoe within the aluminum sheet metal work.

The pink "Goop" is Vibratite - I like it better than Loctite - you apply to bolt, let dry, and it becomes what would be best described as a nylon lock nut.
