My GTA has simple double tubes for cooling.

Would there be any benefit, to cutting the tubes, and running a finned cooler? Besides the cooling effect, you'd have increased capacity, itself providing cooling, as there would be more fluid, to disperse the heat.

Something like this?

 

ive got one like that on my car, its a little smaller though, i dont know if its helping things at all, cause i dont have a steering temp gauge, but its got to be better that the stock tubing cooler thingy.

 

Yes, Do it its an easy upgrade.

My car would boil the fluid on track days with stock set up.

I added a transmission cooler like in your picture. Problem solved.

Add it to the return side not the high pressure side

Only drawback is be sure the lines are tight, double clamp if possible.

We have a cold day about once every five years in SC. Cold day is like 10 degrees. On one of these days I blew the lines off the cooler when I cranked the car up and turned the wheels which were frozen to the driveway. Had I waited for the fluid to warm up it would have been ok.

Other than that no problems.

Street car has 275/45/17 Toyo RA1 shaved tires and now only sees road racing track days. Cooler works great.

 

I have a 4x4 S10 that would boil the fluid off-road in 4 wheel drive. Found an aftermarket transmission cooler off some old truck/van. Gave like $5.00 for it. Got it home, flushed it with mineral spirits and water. Dryed with compressed air. Hooked it up. $5.00 autozone mounting kit. Problem solved.

 

Well, here in central Texas, a cold day is in the high 20s/low 30s. If we get ice, it won't last past noon usually! LOL

How are you going differentiate between high & low side? There's only 1 outlet & 1 return inlet. With a simple tubing for a stock cooler.

I've got one off another GTA, just no pic of it yet. Simple tube cut, splice the cooler inline, right?

 

Yes just splice it in like you said.

I meant don't splice between the pump to the box. The box to the pump is fine.

Just cut the line like you said.

 

Ah....I was only thinking about the hard lines, not the rubber lines to the pump, Those are what you meant by high vs. low pressure.

Now I just need to find the one I was looking for. I'm betting Pep Blows has one. I hate using them for any service, their guys don't know squat, but off the shelf, its an OK place.
