Hey guys. I want to run a small oil cooler in my car for when I autocross. The oil gets too hot and I want to do something about it. A friend used a small tranny cooler on his stang for a power steering pump cooler, and it works great. I was thinking of doing the same. My only thing is that I was reading about the kit coolers, and they say that they only allow the oil to get into the cooler once it's warm enough to get that thin and flow in. My design would be pumping the oil through whenever there's pressure in the system. I'd be using a very small cooler, and it'd be mounted in front of the radiator. I'd basically get some braided line, and plumb from the spout on the block where the pressure gauge attaches, to the cooler in front of the radiator, and then back into the pan. I figure if I add a little extra oil to compensate for the cooler's capacity, then my pressures shouldn't be affected. It's along the idea of how a supercharger gets oil, it comes from the spout, into the blower unit, then gravity feeds back into the pan. Is my idea workable, or could it pose a risk to my motor? Thanks guys!
