CVT cooler....

[hawk02]

Hi, do you have any more information on this cooler? Any insight on why the warmer is there from the factory and how going to a cooler may benefit?? Thanks.

Any plans on testing for a straight up oil cooler as well?

Cool...just the cooler or with some kind of thermostat?

I am interested in this upgrade as well.

Here is an example as to why a CVT warmer is used.

CVT Warmer

Hey guys, long time no post here, as focus has been other places .

@Myx posted a really great link there, but for anybody too lazy to click it... Basically we spent the past week or so putting more research and effort into data about the factory CVT warmer. Manufacturers implement this warmer for fuel economy.

"Oil is essential for the proper function of a CVT. A shared feature of all types of oils and fats is that oil viscosity is higher at low temperature, such as during an engine cold start. If oil viscosity is high, the engine cannot run smoothly, placing a strain on the engine. The CVT Oil Warmer quickly heats CVT oil to an appropriate temperature, immediately improving fuel efficiency. This is particularly helpful in colder regions or for short drives.

Technology Functionality
An engine that combusts fuel internally finishes heating comparatively quickly, but transmission, with friction heat from driving as its main heat source, takes more time to warm up. The CVT Oil Warmer heats up the transmission, creating a state where the vehicle can run efficiently quickly.

Technology Configuration
The CVT Oil Warmer utilizes engine cooling water and quickly increases the temperature of the CVT oil until it reaches an appropriate heat. As a result, it reduces the time when the oil is at low temperature, placing a great burden on the engine"

We talked with @Hondata last week at SEMA and spent some time researching information from Honda. The removal of the warmer will not be detrimental to the CVT itself. For this reason we have decided to move forward with the release of our CVT cooler kit. There are currently a handful of cars out there running our kit with no problems whatsoever. With that being said, these can be found on our site here!

OK, Installation video or instructions to look at prior to purchase?
