ARC cool fin


ARC is proud to introduce the ARC COOL FIN. Don’t be deceived by its seemingly simple looks. Hours and hours of testing and development have been invested into this item to produce a low cost improvement to key areas of the vehicle.

First, the ARC COOL FIN is a cooling item, slightly different from an oil cooler and radiator. This item works with the tuner’s creativity to add to the cooling performance with a reasonable price.

1) Place it on a surface of a component that will be effected by heat.
2) As long as there is airflow in the immediate area, there will be immediate measurable results.
3. Let’s stick it on the various places and it will suppress the temperature rise.

ARC mainly produces primary cooling high performance components such as an intercooler or the radiator. ARC has derived its products from winning involvement in the highest levels of motorsport in Japan such as Formula Nippon, Super Taikyu (Endurance), and Super GT.

This is the COOL FIN developed newly by ARC.   

The COOL FIN utilizes a specially developed fin that works together with the supplied adhesive tape to cool the surface area of a given part. Attach the COOL FIN to a part where there may be an increase in heat of a component that has no cooling system such as the surface of an oil pan or transmission case. The installation is simple. Stick a cool fin with the attached special heat transfer double sided adhesive tape.

Key Features:
-It takes longer for a part to reach a certain temperature with the cool fin installed.
-Keeps parts cooler longer
-The fin is sheet shape measures 10 cm x 9.5 cm with a product made in aluminum of high thermal conductivity.
-Because it can bend like a photograph, you can attach it to parts like intercooler piping or other non-flat parts.
-You can cut it with retractable knife for custom fitting.
-The double-stick tape for the fin is a special material that has high thermal conductivity.
-You can easily cool intakes, oil systems, water temperatures, and electronic parts.


ill be getting a few and sticking them on my lower and upper oil pan to keep oil temps down (always a plus). but useing these the cost will be pretty low and oil leaks from extra after market lines and filter sandwich plates/relocators will be eliminated

So its pretty much a heatsink......

thats all it is. ARC just took their fin design from their inter coolers and radiators, stuck some douple sided tape on the back and called it as day. the cool thing is the tape they use isnt just foam crap, the tape transfers heat as well.

If it comes from ARC I'm pretty sure it will do what it say to an extent.

Make sure to tell us what the differences in oil temps come out to be.

hmm i should buy a bunch of these and wrap my downpipe in it

NOPE! You want to keep the heat isnide your downpipe to keep the exhaust gases hot and moving fast. That is the real reason why you coat the downpipe.

wouldnt do that. but you could cover your boost pipeing in it.

i know i was just kidding. i have my log manifold, turbine housing, and downpipe all coated with HPC Extreme coating. stuff is brutal.

how much does this stuff cost? knowing ARC, it wouldn't be very cost effective.

turbo magazine did a review of these on their project evo in last months issue. they put them on the oil pan, rear diff, and the downpipe i believe. it showed definite improvements.
