Tranny Cooler sizing?

Hey all,
I'm thinking about installing a Serck (sp?) auto tranny cooler in my 1JZ. I'm just wondering about what size to go for? I'm guessing that if is too big I might have problems on cold winter days warming up the box. However, it probably won't be mounted in a good airflow spot (those are reserved for FMIC and radiator). Is the 15 row about right? ANyone have any experience and/or recommendations?
cheers,
Justin

Haven't had any problems with mine. It's 300x200x30mm. Works really well. Gearbox temps are way down on what they used to be. Especially after a hard drive, the box is barely warmer than when idle.

I've got a serck i think (cant remember but 90% sure). It's a 13 row 13x10" on my 1JZ.
Its doing the cooling on its own (no rad cooler) and doing the job fine. Basically i was told the bigger the better if youre fitting a standalone. you can of course go too big and the box wont drop into overdrive.. but it would have to be MASSIVE for that to happen.

If you are worried about airflow, use some ducting to get extra air to the cooler. Also, I have just finished a fan setup for my transcooler that uses 2 12 cm 12volt fans from dick smith. They are strapped to the cooler like thermos to a radiator, and I have them switched so they come on as soon as the engine oil pressure switch trips out (ie they turn on as soon as the engine is running). I can give you the wiring details if you like. As for being too big-don't worry-as mentioned above you'd need a f***en monster one to keep it too cold!

i know nothing about trans coolers but i got mine for free with my car. I have heard there are 2 different types. Mine is about 30cm X 20cm and has tubes going through the fins. It is working 'stand alone'. Will this do the job adequately? I will put a pic up when my damn computer is fixed!

You mean the engine rad? It's a koyo drop in for the JZA70. got it from these guys in the states. www.performanceradiator.com
Cost in AUD is $720 for the rad, plus shipping and import tax, duty etc to the UK it came out at about $1000 AUD (£450 UK).. not cheap. It's also a VERY tight fit in the JZA70. Its nearly twice as thick as stock and 10mm higher.
