Bumping an old thread because I am thinking about doing this as well. Wanting to upgrade to a larger B&M cooler for the trans and re-use my existing B&M 70255 as a PS cooler.

Hey Zex. I have a call in to B&M. I'll let you know the answer in a few.

Read through this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...g-success.html

Lots of good info on power steering cooler options, including frame rail mounted units that tuck up very nicely behind the air dam.

Ok, well it turns out that I am now the proud owner of not one, but TWO B&M 70264 SuperCooler Automatic Transmission Coolers, since what I had was not a 70255 after all. One of them is currently installed on the car for the transmission.

Thanks! Keep me posted...

I've read that thread in the past. My car is lowered (actually, slammed) and I tend to drive on rutted dirt roads at least once a month, so I'm overly cautious about putting coolers/lines on the underside of my car where they have a greater potential of getting damaged. I removed the wiper fluid reservoir a while ago and have been thinking about replacing the plastic air dam funnel with aluminum sheet to make room for a variety of coolers (similar to what is found on a few NASA CMC2 cars). Although, it's probably a pretty safe location... I'll have to crawl under the car and see what looks like a good idea at this point. I'd probably route it like this for now:

Any word?

Oops, lost track of this thread, sorry.

B&M's engineer told me the 70255 was 9800 BTU/hr rejection and the 70264 was 14000 BTU/hr rejection. And that they were suitable for cooling p/s fluid with no problem.

He also said the 70264 is quite large for that application, meaning it should have no trouble meeting your P/s cooling needs.

Here's what I did.....my "out" port of the cooler is never more than warm to the touch...after city driving on a hot day. I think I read 120*F or something like that with a laser temp gauge.

No doubt the cut out in the air dam is a huge cooling factor......

Excellent, thank you! No worries as to the time delay - I have been moving and the cooler is inside of a box somewhere, waiting for a mod day. Thanks for the research.

FWIW, I installed it. The power steering reservoir is noticeably cooler after aggressive driving, although I can't back that up with actual numbers. The 70264 itself warms up pretty nicely. I did a track day on a kart track (46-56 second range for cars) and the fluid overflowed a tiny bit, but didn't get burned. I blame the overflow on a stock reservoir + stock reservoir cap, and stock power steering pump. Glad I had the cooler in place. I ended up mounting it next to my transmission cooler in front of the radiator, and placed the oil cooler where the above pics show the transmission cooler.
