That gives me some "real world" knowledge to make estimations as to my configuration (as this will be my first WC configuration).
I'm settling on a configuration using a 18" dual pass transmission cooler (I just have to review my old fluids textbook) with a DangerDen DDC (Swiftech 350)pump and DangerDen TDX block. I think i have convinced myself that the dual pass coolers have a center partition, because the company makes them up to 30" in dual pass configuration. Given the viscosity of oil, over 90% of the cooler wouldn't be used for cooling the oil if it didn't have some kind of partition. I did find one place that I could get an dual pass anodized version (up to 30"), but at $160 for the $24" version, I think I'll have to live with the ebay 18" raw alum. version and just take care about the additatives.

I dunno about the partition man, Id see if a ebay seller that has em wouldnt mind taking a really close pic of the insides to be sure. Don't forget we are cooling water thats like 5c over ambient. They are made to cool oil thats MUCH hotter. I mean traditional transmission coolers are like a pipe in design and nothing more. A pipe with fins is just crazy
and uh (
psst) just dont tell anyone else
Or better yet if you want a 24" for 60$ delivered right
NOW.
Id rather have a single pass even with the line going from the top all the way to the bottom. Would be much much easier to bleed.
