Soarin Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I ran into this a while back and forgot to ask til now. CSF makes aluminium racing radiators with an oil cooler built in. Please correct if I'm wrong, but could the oil cooler be used as an ATF cooler for 5EAT LGTs? Would this one even work in a 4th Gen LGT? http://www.licmotorsports.com/products/csf-radiatoroil-cooler-combo-08-14-wrx-08-sti_csf-7042o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 that is really cool. I like it. best bet would be too call LIC and ask them. I have found them to be friendly and helpful. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Looks much nicer quality than my Mishimoto but about twice as expensive. I used a Hayden external cooler for 5EAT and its substantially better than the old internal cooler and was not expensive. I used aluminum tubing and routed it so it looks OE.

Soarin Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I knew it would be more expensive than just an external oil cooler with an aluminium radiator. Which was my original idea. I'll send LIC an email and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTDogg MA Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 A company called McCulloch made something like this for the Z32 a while back. Big benefit is that the oil temp is stabilized with the coolant temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I really like the idea of this wonder if there's one available for the Miata? 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhitter Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I want it because even with my Koyo radiator my temperatures still start to climb at high load on 95+ days with the AC on full... My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starionesir Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I had talked to LIC about this radiator and they had said it should work fine. They could not say 100% without a doubt it would work as they have not actually done one before but the radiator should fit in the legacy correctly and would just need to come up with some AN fittings and your choice of plumbing to hook up the 5EAT.

Soarin Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Beat me to it. I called them today and I got the same answer. I looked around and it should fit since the 08 WRX aluminium radiators fit just fine like in the link here. I really like this for my 5EAT since I don't have to have two separate units to cool the trans and engine a bit better than stock. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/finally-05-09-aftermarket-aluminum-radiator-134260.html?t=134260 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
