Use CSF Radiator's Internal Radiator for ATs for Oil Cooler?

gomer_110 · 11-01-2012, 10:15 AM

OP, thought about doing this myself. I think viscosity differences would be a mute point. Just don't know if 7 row would be anywhere near enough though.

I'd really like to see some one do a oil cooling setup that uses the engine coolant as the cooling medium instead of the normal air to oil coolers. On a road course the air coolers are fine, but for autocross or anything stop and go related there's no air flow across the cooler.

Keep us updated on the results if you actually do this.

Yeah, I may try it. May have to contact CSF directly to see about fittings, though. Even though it is only a 7-Row, the heat capacity of coolant is orders of magnitude higher than air--particularly when there is little air flow at low speeds.

im running a 25 row setrab oil cooler, only about 5 rows are showing, the rest covered by a metal plate since temperatures dropped to about 60 degrees here. still provides a good 10 degrees of oil cooling
