Lewis New Member 19 Member For: 8y 7m 8d Posted 26/11/16 07:59 PM Share Posted 26/11/16 07:59 PM Hi there. I am suspect of the standard heat exchanger that cools the transmission on my FG Xr50 turbo ute. I do not want to install a kit with wheel arch mounted radiator but would rather fit a quality heat exchanger that fits in the same spot as the standard item. does any one know of such a thing and if so can someone point me in the right direction. I am bout to drive from Sydney to Adelaide across the desert and want to not stress about the milkshake effect. thanks lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works a charm. Mine was mounted there also, I had it fitted with the new cooler ans stuff at pbe. Lewis, I honestly have no idea on what one it is atm. Can find out by tomorrow arvo for ya though? Its sitting in a work shop with a bunch of other stuff I pulled off the car. If its compatible to the zf from btr which I cant see why not @JETURBO ill happily send it to u as ill be throwing it in the bin otherwise.

I think the btr has metal lines from the box to the radiator. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1115442376?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms this kit comes with 3m of hose you just need another 3 meters and a 5/8 male on male hose joiner or a new hose to bypass the coolant valve thingy under the inlet manifold.
