bochuck Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Can somebody help me with the Mishimoto radiator part number for 05 LGT 5EAT? Checked a bunch of sites but don't see a part number. Also saw that it required an aftermarket trans cooler. Just want to make sure I buy the correct one. VF-52 and all associated bits tuned by Tuning Alliance.

bochuck Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Ok. Found a few vague threads here that hint at the MMRAD-STI-08 as the radiator to get. Now, question is, what size trans cooler?

apexi Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 This thread appears to have some good information. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/properly-plumb-your-5eat-transmission-cooler-221643.html?p=4743891#post4743891 If you do not have an OEM Radiator (not pictured) then your best bet is to use a bypass thermostat and air cooler. This can be a bit more difficult to dial in for year-round stability if you live in a climate that has hot summers and very cold winters. You will not have the radiator to pull down hot ATF temps or pull up cold ATF temps. Over-cooling becomes very easy without a radiator, even if you have a bypass thermostat (though the bypass thermostat does help a lot). If you have a non-OEM radiator, then it's probably worth your while to buy a temperature gauge. That said, many other cars come from the factory with an air cooler and a bypass thermostat, without a radiator heat exchanger provision. The difference is those coolers are sized to provide adequate cooling from -30F to +130F while being driven normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
