I've had the VB Mod stage II for my auto for a few months now. Jeff said he doesn't recommend a tranny cooler unless I'm going up hills constantly, or towing. Does the fluid runner hotter or colder or the same with the Stage II VB? What do you guys recommend?

 

Never hurts to add the cooler.

 

Coolers are so cheap and easy to install that you should probably do it. Peace of mind is always good.

 

i don't c why not

 

I srongly recommend you get one ASAP, the tranny runs a lot hotter and is a lot easier to brake that way

 

im plannin to get one. Any particular brands on coolers? Also, what size do you guys recommend?

 

yes... where do u get one? and how much would it cost someone to do the vb mod?

 

The Hayden cooler is supposed to be a good one. Check out the "Shop Talk" seciotn of the maxima.org landing page there's a how to in there.

 

B&M.

There's a bypass for winter time.

 

I think Hayden is the best one, Im planning on getting one if I dont 5spd swap when I come back, If I do, Im also going to put a civic radiator fan on it,

 

Why is Hayden the best? B&M is made from a stronger grade of metal and has the bypass.

 

I have a hayden on my max and it's really nothing unique. The tranny takes a while to warm up in the winter. I would go with the B&M if I had to do it again... But I don't... I've joined the darkside of manual trannies.. =)

 

Good move. I'm seriously thinking of doing a swap myself.

 

I have the Hayden cooler with my vb. I bought it at Pepboys for like $50.

 

definetly get one anyway. They are cheep insurance...especially for ppl who drive hard.

Did you all install them inline after the stock cooler? I did, but I also got a relitivly small one.

 

You want to do my swap? My swap costed $26,000 though.. =P
