Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 27, 2003 Share July 27, 2003 Check this out guys ... it's sold in Japan. Simple concept, just mount in onto your oil filter and it's blade will help cool the oil filter down. Just a simple heat sink concept. Maybe a few CPU heatsink mount together also can ;-) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2P2 Neutral Newbie July 27, 2003 Share July 27, 2003 hmmm....care to explain how the balde cools the oil filter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 27, 2003 Author Share July 27, 2003 Just like heat sink in CPU and amplifiers .. hot engine oil is transmitting heat to the casing ... the blades simply let the casing cool faster loh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie July 27, 2003 Share July 27, 2003 Someone was saying can try to use the ATR cooler to cool engine oil.. was it U ?? Wonder if anyone tried. Figure that may be more effective if it works - since it's built like a mini-radiator. Problem might be one of long warm up time... heard Cool complaining about this on Fri after water-wetter.

Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 27, 2003 Author Share July 27, 2003 Our radiator has ATF cooler built in (at the bottom part) .. I think maybe all does. Since we've low temp thermostat, low temp fan switch, and Engine Ice (your case), WaterWetter (My case), it should be quite good already. I didn't suggest it .. but I've heard about engine oil cooler too. I do encounter slightly longer warm up, but anyhow, by the time I get out of my carpark and reach main road, the needle already at WARM UP point liao. Last time was by the time I exit my carpark.

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie July 29, 2003 Share July 29, 2003 You could be right - though am told that most cars ATF is kind of cooled by just a loop in front of the radiator or something like that. What is on the market as an ATF cooler is just a more elaborate thingy. As to warm up for my car, hard to tell, never paid that much attention, but also didn't have any issues either.

Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 29, 2003 Author Share July 29, 2003 Digging out my microfitch again .. According to the labels, the area circled in red are connected to the gearbox and the ATF flows into the lower part of the radiator for cooling ! BTW, This is our radiator Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modeldriver Neutral Newbie July 29, 2003 Share July 29, 2003 Hmm... interesting. Thanks ! Good thing din splurge on the ATF cooler then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 29, 2003 Author Share July 29, 2003 I doubt it's just a metal loop since we don't see the loop in front radiator/condensor. Seems like Honda engineer does design their car with great thought ! EXCEPT MY TEMPERATURE IS SO HOT !!! 101degC !!! Now that the thermostat help reduce temp, I guess it works on the ATF too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear July 30, 2003 Share July 30, 2003 with your Buddy Club ECU, it would be better if after market ATF cooler is installed. I would definitely do it if I'm having the same car & setup as yours, or is it the way I drive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie July 30, 2003 Share July 30, 2003 Well... guess you win some, you loose some. Clearly the guys at Honda didn't give the air intake on the Stream enough thought. Nor the exhaust system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
