For a DECENT transcooler you'd be looking at $800 upwards.

I have one of the autobarn/bursons ones, and it does SFA.

There was a thread around last week or the week before either in GA or GM with some nice kits, i'll see if i can find it.

cool thanks k.

yeah well i want a decent one...

the only mods im doing to the ceffy are to maintain the parts and cause less ware...

it has an oil cooler and an aftermarket radiator from what i can see in the pics...

i want a trans cooler and oil filter moval kit...

basically things to keep it healthy

lets think about this, right...

its just a trans cooler. an HKS logo isn't going change the way the cooler dissipates heat. it still functions to cool the heat even though its cheap... its not like we are talkign about pressure or flow issues like in an intercooler...

and all trans coolers increase the oil capacity of the trannie anyway which is a good thing in itself

the only reason i would get a more expensive one is to include a thermostat (which mine doesn't have) to let it reach operating temp that little bit quicker

up to you anyway

let us know how you go

Waz.

construction, design and build quality all play a part... it doesnt have to eb name brand it just has to do its job effectively and properly.

its like thinking those $80 oil catch cans (or even those more expensive HKS and GREDDY ones) work as well as those ones that whistlas mate made...

plus with the punishment this thing is going to be under it needs to be able to cool it well.

Ni, have you looked at the group buy of Oil Coolers that Adam and Chris are doing, maybe contact Meridian Motorsport and see if they sell the kit. I assume a trans kit may be cheaper due to the physical size, etc.

I went to their workshop yesterday and was very impressed with their service and products. They realy know their stuff, and have shown interest in supporting motorsport clubs. Andrew also bought his oil cooler from there. Mention that you are from SAU.

*delete* *DELETE*

lol

my bad... i thought seeing as u can get them for autos u should be able to get them for manuals to prolong its life.... obviously not :)

gees my typing was good last night... bloody beer goggles

You can get them for manuals too but I would assume it would be overkill. You only ever see a manual box oil cooler on a BIG HP engine. As well as diff oil coolers.

On a side note, R31 Rocket and SKY031 said they had cheap ones but commented that they were crap.

I would like to know how you came to the conclusion they were not suitable? If the cooler has a good stream of airflow and the trans fluid temp drops then you would think it is doing its job. What signs alerted you that it was an inferior product?

Besides that it probably didnt include a thermostat. Or is that the problem? That on short trips the trans fluid was too COLD?

couldnt really tell you what HP or torque it would be needed if in fact it is ever needed.

The only time I have seen a manual box cooler and diff cooler has been on a no expense spared dedicated circuit or strip car.

In other words, never on a street car.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
