Foreign Auto SupplyTransmission Cooler
Design• Extruded 6063-T6 body• Fully machined features• Proprietary 6063-T6 FAS thermal CORE• *Friction Stir Welded (FSW) lid for maximum
heat transfer • Retains stock hardware and placement
* Friction Stir Welding is a patented technology only available through a licensed supplier.
Comparison
FAS Oil to Air• 160 sq in Al. to Air area• 440 sq in Oil to Al. area
Stock VW Oil to Water• 40 sq in Alum. to Air area• 112 sq in Oil to Al. area
Advantages• Reduced thermal load on the engine coolant
system• 4 times the amount of contact surface area for
both oil and air over stock• Eliminates the possibility of intermixing coolant
and ATF as with previous design• Easier installation with the removal of cooling
lines
• Thermal loading shown under natural convection
Thermal Analysis
Testing• *Thermal bench testing has shown the cooler to operate between 175-188F without air flow.
* Testing was conducted at 74F with a completely rebuilt transmission running fully synthetic ATF at full load in 3rd gear for 40 min.
