Civic 1.5T DIY Trans Cooler?

[fkseven]

Ok guys I’m trying to rig up a cvt cooler for my hatch and I’m running into a small problem.

PRL Uses a plate to replace the CVT warmer plate but they have since discontinued the kit which had the plate I need.

They do not offer a diy kit with the plate, if they did I’d pay in gold for this piece it’s that important.

Or......

I was thinking it would be possible to just connect hoses to the warmer plate in and out using rubber trans lines not the 6an or 10an stainless steel braided lines prl used with their plate.

If I used the rubber lines held on by clamps I am worried they may leak or blow off and leak fluid all over.



So what is everyone’s thoughts should I make my car a test dummy and try to mock up a diy cvt cooler for you cvt people or should I try to track down one of the @PRL Motorsports cvt cooler plate pieces to use.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

afaik they don't make them anymore EOL or discontinued but no harm asking @PRL Motorsports & yes they are a good company.

If anyone needs it, I can ship them over.

ETL makes a kit and there's a company starting to make kits for the 1.5t accord cvts which i can't see being too different from the civic cvt.

Ok so here’s a update...

Since it snows a lot I will be keeping the cvtf warmer in and try to rig up a system where the warmer is used in conjunction with the cooler. I do not know where the lines go out of the cvtf warmer so does anyone know?

I’m probably only ever gonna rock the stock tune so cooler may not be needed I still have to log temps on track to see if I need it or not.

If my cvt transmission fails, this thread will turn into 6 speed manual swap thread lol.
