I think this has been asked before but does anyone make/sell a diff cooler package for the S2000?
Any homebrew ones out there?

 

Good question,im interested in this also

 

Not that I know of. This is the only one I have ever seen. FRom his post, the setup is ARC.



Here is a link to the JDM site.

If you want more info, I do exchange e-mails with the owner in Japan.

 

Here is the ARC JDM site with their diff cooler line up. http://www.arcinter.co.jp/arc/products/oil...ries/index.html

 

is overheating really an issu?

 

It's needed on clutch plate diffs. Nate took measurements and the fluid is heating beyond recommended usage range.

Gear type (like stock) probably runs cooler.

ARC's a little expensive, but if you find out more details please post them here.

 

It should not be too had to fab one up. If you are intersted, I am as well. I can have a friend look into doing a kit for us. He is already doing an oil cooler setup for me.

Since you are running a clutch type, what one and what kind of oil/fill are you running? I have a Cusco 1.5 in a box, earmarked for the track car.

 

There's a few owners in Japan that have put together a diff cooler from a collection of parts. From what I've seen, most of them run a Setrab exchanger with a Mocal/Triton/FloJet oil pump.

 

The THR car has a ATS 1.5way. Originally ATS fluid but the temp range on that is just too low. Experimenting with different fluids now.

We also need to coordinate with John Costello, one of the guys in NE running a T3 S2000; I sent him an email tonight, I think he's already a few steps ahead of us.

The idea is to get a kit (or collection of parts) approved by the SCCA to be added to T3 cars. The parts don't necessarily need to be available from a single vendor as a kit to be approved by the SCCA. But nothing should be submitted for approval without some real testing, otherwise you'll be stuck with something approved that doesn't work and have trouble getting it changed with the SCCA.

Edit: That's a mighty fine logo you got on your fender Hunter.

 

Did John reply?
