given I can put my hand on mone and almost get a burn off it - yes it is needed and I do agree with teh above statement. heat kills these things - I have a $4500 bill to prove it.

Yeah for sure I support that, they get HOT enough for cooling to be a concern. But what I'm wondering if the oil taking too long to warm up is a concern. My new radiator won't have the "cooler" (warmer) built in, and whether or not that is a concern on the cold mornings I'm not sure.

of course they would be too hot to touch, they shed heat into the engine coolant which ranges from 80-110 degrees lol

just plumb one of the pipes next to a radiator pipe (even touching it) and youll get a bit of heat transfer

if this theory works, i'de just be mounting the external cooler so it is physically touching the radiator core. or is this bad?(dont flame me it isnt how mine it lol)

thats how i have mine setup right now. im sure there isnt MUCH heat transfer, ideally youd want the pipework inside the radiator fluid, but this is the best option i had till my new radiator goes in

Looks like B&M SuperCoolers are the go.. http://www.bmracing.com/PRODUCTS/Automatic-Transmission-SuperCoolers

‘LPD’ or Low Pressure Drop feature includes two bypass channels nearest the fittings to allow fluid to flow freely especially when cold to prevent lube system failure.

That's for a 11x7.25x0.75in unit which seems pretty similar in size to what everyone else is running. They have larger units but the fittings are larger too which would be a bit of a pain. If you're in a lot of city traffic they also have the same coolers with fans on them.

Chuckie this is exactly what I want. Can you still pick them up new from Mazda? Or do you need to find a second hand unit?

I was taking to a mate about this exact cooler last night; he reckoned Mazda charges $400 brand new. Supposed to be an incredibly efficient cooler for it's size.

if youre not moving there is probably no point in having a fan on a transmission cooler. once youre moving and you need the cooler to work, well, youre moving!

Unless you are sitting in peak hour traffic in summer.

But if you mount it above the reo, the engine fan will pull air through it anyway :)

I have one of these in my R33 with modded C4 auto.

But am now worried it wont be enough so am looking to get a 30 row oil cooler core and use that with a fan. I also have a transbrake and was told to box will see 120+ degrees within a few seconds on the transbrake.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
