Ive got everything I need for an oil cooler set up BUT I need a new rad and the one I am thinking of getting has the extra nipples for an auto tranny cooler. I was wondering If i could use that part of the rad to cool oil instead? good idea? itll be much easier than trying to mount/find a spot for the little cooler i was going to use.
thanks

 

I was wondering the same thing....TTT

 

or you can try one of these Belongs to Supertwinz
C&R DC2 Realtime Spec w/ built in oil cooler

 

Do they make a 1/2 core version???

 

very nice radiator...i wonder how much?

 

any decent oil cooler uses -10/-12 AN lines, of about 3/4" for the newbies. The automatic radiator tranny cooler is about 5/16".

Now think this, you want to supply you WHOLE engine with oil through a TINY oil line?

I won't even get into the oil bypass/pressure function.


In short, if your radiator has tranny cooler line hookups, and your driving a manual, leave it unused.

The littlest oil cooler to use, is the B&M cooler that comes with the import kit, but the filter adapter doesn't fit.

 

I built my radiator/oil cooler as one piece. You can see the oil cooler on the right.

 

nice!
I have a smaller cooler to use but it would be soo much easier to use the rad one.
But I see what your getting at ..
anyone else?
