Upgrade CVT cooler

[charlie_ching]

Ok so I've just realised my fa20 levorg has a tiny front mount CVT cooler. I was planning on installing an aftermarket one, the mishimoto one that runs through the factory heat exchange cooler/heater on the drivers side. But after noticing this little factory one running on the passenger side, just wondering if anyone else has replaced it and what they went with?

If you can, just add an engine oil cooler, takes load off the entire cooling system (DITs run hot), so you might get better gains from that than upgrading the current CVT cooler.

I now have installed both coolers. I wish I had something to monitor transmission oil temps to compare. But from the small driving I have done since installing the thermostatic oil cooler, I have noticed a 10 degree drop in temp. I'd notice the temp go up while giving it a bit of gas, and then the temp dropping back reasonably quickly after it jumped up.
