So driving down the road tonight, random thought occurred to me. I was originally going to plumb my power steering /hydroboost into the radiator where the trans would plumb in. Since I'm manual I don't need the trans cooler. I ran across a post where I think it was bikemaker that said he tried it and had issues with flow if memory serves. I had bought a PS cooler a while back when I was having issues to solve plumbing issues more than anything. I thought to myself wow, now would be the time to install that sucker. Well, I'm an idiot. It's way too small to be useful. So I got to thinking. I see guys run trans coolers in parallel all the time. Why couldn't I T into the stock cooler and run a parallel line to the radiator?? That would solve any flow issues. It would give the system a little more capacity and it should help shed a little heat out of the system even if it's not full flow.
I guess the other option is to mount that other baby cooler somewhere so it's not dumping anymore heat into the radiator. That's really my only concern.
What does anyone think? Am I just crazy?
