using auto trans cooler as oil cooler?

[andrew k]

i have an auto transmission cooler / radiator. dimentions are 1.25 in thick cores, 5.5 in wide, and 10 inches long. 3/8 inner hose diameter. anybody see a problem with using this as a oil cooler? i want to ditch the stock antifreeze oil cooler that comes from the factory on a 2g, as it has come loose. wont stay tight for long, and has tried to blow my car up once by coming loose and draining my oil out while driving. any thoughts?

you dont need a specific cooler for them as there both oil! your ok with doing that as thats what me and many others have done without issue

 

[andrew k]

ok. just wanted to make sure it would be large enough to flow and cool properly.

thats not far of my b&m cooler! will work well and cool what you need for now,

also how are you going to hook it up to your OFH? you getting a 90 external OFH or an evo 8/9 ofh? otherwise you cannot use an external cooler for oil as its built for water cooled only

 

[andrew k]

yeah. your right. i read into it some a couple weeks ago i knew i needed a different housing for sure. hey thanks for the help and fast response.
