Anyone ever use the auto tranny cooler on the Si, Vtec radiator as an oil cooler? i had to change my radiator and a friend assisted me in doin so, and we saw the tubes. i wasnt sure what they were until he mention auto trannies need fluid cooler. So i thought about turning the auto tranny cooler into an oil cooler, saves money and time for gettin a real oil cooler. any thoughts or suggestions?

 

It would work but it is very small and might cause the coolant to heat up faster than normal. A regular oil cooler is better it has a much higher capacity and uses air to cool it

 

I'd be more worried about the pressure than the heat exchange.

 

i was just curious trying to save a bit of weight (haha) and space for future expantion (turbo intercooler???)
