NA_TURBO Member 532 Member For: 9y 6m 8d Gender: Male Location: Mildura Posted 26/04/21 11:23 AM Author Share Posted 26/04/21 11:23 AM Been a bit lazy lately but the car is finally back on all 4 wheels. Got the radiator fitted and it's pushed the condenser forward slightly so my trans cooler had to be moved. I noticed Derale make a duel pass trans cooler, so I decided to make one myself and I'm in the middle of mounting it on the passenger side rear of the car. Might have it running by the weekend. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91515-my-bf-xr6-na-engine-with-turbo/page/36/#findComment-1704369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any pics of it? I have the typical "race type" catch can that sits near the booster, but I'm looking to change it to a better designed one.. That actually has baffles in it. Also I'd like to have it plumb back to the intake, the fumes that come out of my catch can are a bit hectic.
