Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 13y 11m 6d Gender: Male Posted 17/04/14 12:21 PM Share Posted 17/04/14 12:21 PM Mine got done by a proper transmission shop and it took a full liter to fill, done at the right temp. All up 943, about 180 for install and fluid top up and I just got them to order the pwr exchanger. Seen some guys payin 700-800 for oil to air.

Going to go with his advice and get the cooler installed. They said they've been installing them for a long time and on race falcons too and never had one come back with an issue. Was good enough for me, and cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to hit 105deg with a few squirts and some highway driving the other night and the weather wasn't warm eitherim using the torque app to monitor temps for both the stock and PWR heat exchanger and haven't changed any settings on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vxr50t Member 134 Member For: 11y 8m 3d Posted 21/04/14 11:46 AM Share Posted 21/04/14 11:46 AM Yeah I know. There was even another guy here that datalogged the pwr unit and stock heatexchanger back to back using the same app I'm using for temps.I suspected I'd lost a fair bit of coolant when the pwr kit was installed and when I changed my thermostat a few months back so I've been topping up with more concentrate.Since then trans temps have gone a bit lower but not by much. Last run today it hit 102deg after some short bursts and a bit of traffic then dropped back to around 98deg then slowly back up to 100deg constant after cruising it when I got on the highway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vxr50t Member 134 Member For: 11y 8m 3d Posted 21/04/14 11:28 PM Share Posted 21/04/14 11:28 PM No just a standard thermostat. Will have to get under the car to check the lines but all seemed OK when CMS did the install. I watched them do the entire install and refillDoes anyone else with a PWR kit know what temps theirs sits at when up to full temp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vxr50t Member 134 Member For: 11y 8m 3d Posted 21/04/14 11:47 PM Share Posted 21/04/14 11:47 PM I normally use the water gauge on the dash but will also make a gauge in torque so I can get an exact temp.Off the dash water gauge it sat just above the notch to the left of the halfway marker, same as stock.But I did notice the water temp rose slightly yesterday when it hit 105deg and also went down when the trans temp droppedCould it still be the coolant mix ratio isn't quite right?
