Pwr Are Designing A New Zf Trans Cooler

[HIRO F6]

There was once a PWR rep who frequented this forum shooting off propaganda and trying to devalue a forum sponsors product. His name was Drew.

You reminded me of him. My mistake then.

Well I ain't that bloke. I'm a wog from Melbourne who has 2 modified cars and one stock G6ET. Personally I don't give two f@cks who builds a proper replacement exchanger just as long as someone builds one.

As said earlier I will wait and see what PWR comes up with.

Oh and over the years I have learnt some workshops are better at some things and sh*t at others. So have always picked products for my cars in that vane.

Anyway for me living through Melbourne winters with a car that does a lot of short trips an oil to air is no good hence keen for something to replace the Ford rubbish and retain oem driveability on what has otherwise been a very reliable car in all conditions.

In regard to the stock (or larger F6 police pack orange dot) ZF heat exchanger:

My heavily modified FGXR6T has done dozens of circuit days. 195,000kms too!

Car has been flogged to an inch of its life on the circuit and surprise surprise, the original type ZF heat exchanger has not exploded into a stawberry milkshake yet!!!!

I do however change the Heat Exchanger every year (thin, varying metal quality) (along with genuine ZF fluid), so currently onto my 4th one and haven't had problems.

I've always been mindful of engine temps (monitored by 2 watchdog sensors. One on coolant pipe, one on ZF bolt).

Careful with cooldown laps, open bonnet/industrial fans in the pits etc

Car also has both foglight removed and a large custom engine oil (not ZF) cooler mounted lhs front bar.

With this set up however, I have noticed that when the ZF fluid starts to get hot it does spike up pretty quickly (forcing a return to the pits on days up near 30deg) hence I have been very interested in the different ZF cooling options from day one. The Crescent Motorsport one looked good to me even if it is air/oil.

As it is also my daily driver with temps regularly under 5deg in winter, I like the heat exchanger idea and am interested in the PWR set up.

Like many, I want the best of both worlds. If it exists, I will fork over the $$$.

I think Kev From Process West would be the man to build a good solid reliable ZF heat exchanger, he has the knowledge and facility's, there's definately a market for it...

Maybe somebody should post a Topic in his section asking...

Pics and details comming soon just been really busy at work and the weather is terrible,hopefully sat morning il get it up on the hoist
