    E28 Auto Radiator in M30 Swap...

    No experience with this one but just wondering...

    The E28 Automatic radiator has extra ports that were for ATF (transmission cooling) I believe, so is there a way to plumb lines and rig that section as an Oil Cooler?

    Again, no idea if it would work, but its a cool thought...

    You could always find a used E30 M3 oil cooler...but this might work well too.

    I have no idea how much pressure those sections are rated for, but if they could withstand 50-80psi I wouldn't see any problem using them for oil cooling.

      I'm using an e28 auto radiator, I'll be just plugging the inlet and outlet pipes though. I wouldn't bother running a engine oil cooler, I think that BMW over engineered the oil cooler - not needed for street use e30's IMO.

      Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.

        Thanks for the comments guys. I may look into it alittle more and see what kind of pressure they can withstand.
