diff coolers run the rearend gear threw them and to keep it cool if it heats up it boils and you ruin the diff.

"Differential oil coolers run the rear end's gear oil through them and are heat exchangers like radiators and intercoolers in turbo systems. If the gear oil heats up it loses viscosity [it's rather unlikely that it will boil] and that will ruin the differential."

if it heats up enough it will boil because the oil gets thinner and thinner as it gets hotter never heard of them blowing up diffs in nascar because the oil got to hot and thin?

[willimo]

Yes but is that boiling?

[rsxse240]

they won't blow up due to pressure inside, they are vented, but they do blow up when the oil loses it's viscosity, and the bearings sease up and chunks go flying around inside and get jammed in the ring and pinion. that's when catastrophic failure occurrs.

btw, nice supra.

I did some minor work and took a couple shots. No big deal, but figured I'd post em up.

Built the hot pipe and clamps, then hit it with TS42, hit the cold pipe with the same. More wiring done.





added oil feed line for turbo




Im getting bored with it now, and can honestly say its just about a wrap. Needs a catch can and a few other bits but she's pretty much there. I'm itching for my next project (C6) but I want to hold off for an airbrush. Maybe I'll do a quick C6 build for practice, they're only $10. That sounds fun.
