Alternate Oil Cooler??

[Project ES]

Im doing a n/t auto to turbo manual swap and I dont have the external oil cooler from the turbo car I got my motor from. I was wondering if I could use the trans cooler that is built into the stock auto radiator as my oil cooler? Will it hold the pressure since the pressure in the engine is prob twice whats in the trans. Also seeing how the trans cooler is in the radiator(which is always gonna have warm fluid in it after warming up), will the cooler get cool enought to effectively cool the oil? Ive searched for an answer to this and havent found it. Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

Yes I am trying to use the stock filter housing. The cooler for the automatic trans is built in to the radiator. I was just wondering if i could just run lines from the filter housing to the (ex) trans cooler and use it as an oil cooler instead.
