Touched down today from Taipei and went straight to install my ATF cooler. It's the customised version from GTBug (Daniel).
Quick installation as I don't have a bodykit. One of the advantages of a stock looking ride. Installation was done at the Ang Mo Kio Multi Story carpark, which was quite a hell to find. But the place was spacious and there was hardly any traffic. Daniel's wife also helped out and that was quite a surprise.
No drilling or hammering and a relatively smooth installation. However, the ATF cooler seems to be slightly crooked. Probably due to the steel braided hoses weighing it down on the right side.
From the above picture, you can also see that there is not much space left for anything else. Oil coolers are usually to big to squeeze into the space on the right. Perhaps an additional cooling fan. We'll see. And look at my lovely stock horns. Should be looking at replacing those too when I have the chance.
As you can see, the new hoses just attach to the original hose and there are proper connectors in place to prevent leakages. There was no top up of ATF fluid for this installation. I was advised that during the next servicing, just tell the mechanic to add 200 ML.
From a distance, it ATF cooler is not really too obvious, even when photographed with flash. If the cooler and the hoses were black in color, it will be a lot more discrete.
Total damage S$250.
Cheers,
