I know The Man on http://www.protegeclub.com/forum/ forum had a how to on the oil cooler. Do a search on that site.
It was not easy from what I remember

The oil-cooler in that how-to is the MSP oil cooler, not the radiator style.
The MSP oil-cooler is going to be more efficient than the radiator style. Water cooled (MSP) vs. air cooled (radiator).
The oil cooler is worth while.
Why do you think you need a tranny cooler? I'm not sure if the SWC cars are running one or not, but I doubt you would need one.

Air doesn't cool as well as water...The water oil-cooler is more efficient...
Chris is just stating that water absorbs heat faster and more efficiently. A good radiator sytle oil cooler would do the trick as well, but you would have to be moving for it to do it's thing. The water-cooled units work while moving, and while sitting still. I recently installed the MSP oil cooler on my MP3 using the instructions TheMAN put together.

all the good stuff is in the FI section:

The main area of discussion revolves around the duration of time in which the oil has to cool itself while in limited contact with the MSP oil cooler.
The above link will give you a look at tube and fin air intercoolers. Lots of benefits if done correctly.

Air doesn't have the same heat transfer properties as water. Hence the air temp has to be signifcantly cooler to make up for the difference. The air temp will not be 75 degrees around 210 degree oil in the damn air-to-air oil cooler.
If you get a damn fan it will, it's about volume of air. I never said an air cooler alone would do it on it own. The coolest you will ever get your oil with the MSP style is 180 deg (or whatever the thermistat is set at) but you do you're own thing... I'll do mine

You don't want the oil to be any cooler than 180...
180-210 is optimal....

After everything is bought, air is going to cost more than $80 dollars.
