Water-Oil is the way to go as long as the radiator can keep up with the extra water temp, but that is an extremely small heat exchanger. But that size might be perfect for cooling the oil on a stock-ish car without saturating the coolant.

Took the words from my mouth. I wonder why it isn't compatibel with an AT car? If the costs of this kit is somewhat lower than what's currently out there, it should be a hit.

looks like whats on the 2014 Forester XT from the factory.

Is the heat exchanger part of the sandwich plate on this kit? Trying to figure out how it functions.... It looks like it just bypasses some coolant to the enlarged sandwich plate/heat exchanger. Is that correct?

I like the idea... I wonder what the price will be?

We do have a rather anemic radiator though..... But I really like that it doesn't introduce a bunch of oil lines to the engine bay.

I'm new to Subarus, but if they're running something similar in other Subarus couldn't you just slap one of those in the BRZ? Or am I just simplifying it too much?

Thats basically my point. I'm sure if we wait a little, we'll figure out how to just use the OEM forester one.

I hope we can use something like this in our cars and not cost an arm and a leg. It would be good to know there is possibly an inexpensive solution to the, supposed, overheating problem with our cars. I just hope this will work and work with AT's too.

I like the simplicity of it. I wonder if it is as effective as air/oil cooler?

xwd · 04-02-2013, 09:46 PM

That's funny it looks like they found a way to adapt the old Impreza oil cooler/heater mount. It was never a replacement for a real oil cooler in the past but maybe its different with this setup.

The cooler part of this is totally an OEM Subaru part.

My '95 4Runner has a similar cooler on the 3.0 it has in it.

I've seen this type of cooler on the 2ZZ Celica and the Sportivo Corolla. I'd be happy to be proved wrong but always thought its only use was as an engine oil warmer.
Depends how much oil to water area it exchanges though.
Seams like a lot of money, but it is also a lot less than a conventional cooler too I guess. I'd love to know how it compares if anyone has insight on this sort of thing?
