Post Question with poll for members who have the PWR aluminum radiator w/ a 4EAT trans...

Thinking about investing in a PWR radiatoir within the next 9-12 months. As the radiator is thicker than the factory unit and has a 5 pass trans cooler, I wanted to see how many members who actually HAVE this radiator installed on a 4EAT SVX actually add a trans cooler?

As I'd like to set my car up for track days at Summit Point & VIR, I'm thinking of using the 4 pass Champ trans cooler I currently have as a power steering fluid cooler...

Aren't you gonna need a cage for that Chike??? Be a shame to rip apart a decent interior to do that to.

Nope I should clarify myself - these will be track days with the M-B club from Northern VA. Street trim with a helmet is all that's req'd to compete.

Gottcha, it isn't a competition event. Just a Drivers PDE style event.

Correct. And even though the factory plastic rad from my '96 is in good shape, I'd hate to run my first event and have it fail...

Chike,
What has you thinking you need a cooler for the power steering?
