BMS Trans Cooler

[Brichinelo]

Anyone running the bms transmission cooler kit? Highly considering it for the fact that it extends the life of the trans, provides cooling, and better performance.

I plan to pick it up in the next few months. its realistically only needed if you plan to track the car though.

Yeah I just picked it up myself. I’m not planning on tracking my car but definitely see how this can be a good addition to the overall longevity and reliability of the vehicle.

They have one and I think Lap3 has one too. I have the BMS, just haven't installed yet.

But to answer your question, yes. It's a beneficial piece. Lower temps are always a bonus.

On my list for this summer, the footwell area gets HOT during long drives. It can't be good for the trans to get so hot to where it cooks your feet.

Stinger already has trans cooler from the factory. And i just don't believe "bigger is better" mentality, at least when it comes to cars.

the factory trans cooler is awful for anything other than street driving. for track driving its just not good enough for extended sessions/back to back runs. Even on the street, if you do back to back pulls the temp soars.

I just like the peace of mind with it than without it especially since I spirit drive alot.

It's cheap insurance.

I wonder how the bms one stacks up against the lap3 ? Any pros or cons over the other or essentially they both just do the same thing.

I looked on the lap3 site earlier, I only saw an adapter for a generic trans cooler, not a full system like the BMS one. Both BMS and LAP3 do have an engine oil cooler though

Was waiting for that beautiful cooler setup coming from LAP3

This is the engine cooler you were referring to ? I didn’t see one for bms or lap3. Could you run both the bms trans cooler and this engine oil cooler with secondary radiator ?

The CSF Racing transmission cooler is quite nice, its direct swap and has a lot of surface area, its listed on LAP3 as well.

Concept 3 High Performance Transmission Oil Cooler | LAP3

Concept 3 High Performance Transmission Oil Cooler is a great modification for daily drivers and track usage. It offers significantly better cooling & maintains optimal oil temperature for extended periods of time. This is even more critical for vehicles producing more heat than from the...

I don't think there will be much difference, but maybe someone that has tested both can chime in.

Could always go the route of @AWDGT2 and build your own as well haha

They all will perform well and keep the Transmission cooler than a stock one. The next level is including a fan, none of the aforementioned ones have fans as far as I know, except the Derale one that I bought. The only additional step to that is a fan controller to kick on at whatever desired temp you want. I'm going to wire mine this spring and video it as the last installment video for the Stinger cooler upgrade.

Damn that’s dope bro. Definitely will be on the lookout for that installation video.
