So after three long months, the car is finally back together and running stronger than ever. Thank you to Andrew and Chris at AMS for the excellent customer service and care of the car while in their possession. I could not be happier with how the current setup is performing and look forward to polishing things up over the winter in preparation for next year.

For those of you that have not seen the rest of the care before, my orginal thread can be found here. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...00whp-evo.html

Enjoy the pictures and please take a look at the video below. It is from the same page that featured the car earlier this year. It is a teaser to a video that will be put together now that the car is complete. Pretty cool editing and an interesting up & coming site.

Standing by for any questions, and thanks again for looking!

What is that directly behind your intercooler on the driver side? Oil cooler?

Yes, that's an oil cooler for the transmission. The pump is located on the passenger side near the cooler for the engine. The inline filter for the pump is just to the left (as you are looking at the car) of the cooler, in front of the radiator fan.

Thanks again for the compliments, and let me know if you have any other questions.

Sorry for the delay. I'm away from my personal computer so had some problems getting good pictures for you guys that depicted what I did. The best I can come up with, for now, are the pictures that I posted to explain the setup in my earlier thread.

As you look through, the first pictures is the cooler test fit after I initially had the brackets made for the mounting points. The second picture is just the final products next to the templates I used to get a rough idea of what I would need to mount it. Third, the cooler is mounted with the lines ran. Next, the in line filter as I mentioned before. Finally, the mounting location for the pump itself.

The piping is a little lengthy, but with the current setup, I was able to add about a quart to a quart and a half of fluid to the six speed (which in itself helps extend the preferred operating temperature of the fluid). The pump is wired in to the cabin with a 10amp fuse and switch heading back out to the battery. The setup has worked great so far, and the location of the oil cooler has not affected the cooling efficiency of the radiator whatsoever (there is plenty of space between the intercooler, the oil cooler, and the condenser to allow proper air flow and prevent unnecessary heat soak).

My intent behind the entire setup, and the order the design, was to maximize the preservation of each component while ensuring the best performance possible. That is why the oil is cooled and filtered prior to entering the pump, and why the overall direction of the fluid is with gravity after it leaves the cooler (where the weight of the oil in the case is assisting prior to entering, at the most difficult stage).

I know this is not a proper explanation of the setup. I'm hoping the pictures will fill in the rest of the gaps. Regardless, if you have any other questions I am standing by and am more than willing to explain it (and will be much more capable at a decent hour, haha).

Thanks again for looking and enjoy!
