Okay,
So I had set my PS cooler hoses up a couple of different ways, with the previous swaps.

I did not necessarily think that I've made it look as clean or routed as efficiently as I'd liked, so I'd like to see what you guys have done.

I am using a ~91 PS cooler (sitting above the FMIC) and the in/outs come out near the 2JZ alternator, as it normally would.

I've not decided on or placed the reservoir anywhere yet, so am open to suggestions and would really like to see some more of your "creative" methods. Thanx!!

i used the stock return line off the 7m that goes along the x-member.i then connected that to the jza70 cooler on the passenger side.which return's to the jza70 reservoir like it came from the factory

Yeah, I think I got rid of my JZA70 one when I threw the 7M back in...

I already looked at the Fiance's MKIV N/A as a potential donor ;-)

Any other custom setups out there? I had looked at those aluminum finned ones at Summit and on Ebay before, but don't know anyone who's actually used one.

i ran a permacool tranny cooler for a pwr strg cooler as the stock stuff was inadequate for larger tires and road racing....

how much of a cooler do you think we need?the 7mgte has the reservour sitting on top of the turbo practicly.so, i can see the need for one.rhd 1j car has the hose's and rack connection's under the turbo.so,it must see some heat there also.on a 1j and 2j swapped car all the stuff is one the intake side where it don't see the high heat off the turbo's.i don't know,how much of a big deal it would be.anybody got any opinion's on this?just an observation and i don't have a temp gauge on it anyway's to see how hot it get's.

I ran an auto supra radiator and just ran the coolant lines in the auto tranny cooler in the bottom of the radiator... worked wonderfuly.

^^I thought of doing that when I had the 2J/5-speed before...but am now using a 2J w/the auto tranny so it's not available as an extra cooler.

hey if you cant use the auto cooler on your radiator and you didnt use the hydro pump/cooler use that for your p.s. cooler its u shaped you have to flip it upside down to use it but works fine use custom bracketing all the other ma70 ones dont work they are S shaped and have the cooler openings on oposit sides.
