I need the extra cooling the sks has, but my heart wants a 163, 2.6 with qd. Is there any aftermarket cooler that fits? The coolers for proride, does those fit? Or how much work is it to mount the front cooler from the sks?
We'll, that's your opinion...If you need the cooling, you don't need a 163 IMO
Doubtful the work would be less than a pro, which was reported to be 'alot'. There's a thread or two about it here. Start by stripping the bulkhead. You'd likely put the bypass in the head, too (front cooler on a pro ride was always active, no thermostat control), tho there is some design change with the 800ho in the Axys, but there is the SKS and 3" to model. One or two did it on a pro ride.
I'd bet some peeps will be putting a 'TRS' bypass with the doo thermostat in an Axys at some point. Just a hunch. Lots of unknowns with the 800ho ECU and how it manages engine temp and output.
It's supposed to, we'll see if they actually doI thought the axys/800ho already has a bypass tstat.?..

You would need to disassemble the sled almost completely... De-bond some parts... Destroy the bulkhead floor in removal of it ... pay for the new cooler...Then re-assemble and re-bond everything.
IMO... If a sled doesn't come with the front cooler... don't try to add it.

Might be easiest to add a 163 track and rails to a SKS and live with the chaincase, the difference between belt drive and chaincase isn't that noticeable. Someone might have a aftermarket belt drive available next season if you insist on having it.
