Description

PDI Ford Ranger PX 2012+ / Everest / Mazda BT50 (2012-2020) PDI Heavy Duty Transmission cooler kit.

In addition to our other class leading features (standard in all PDI transmission cooler kits), the 6R80 gearbox fitted to the Ranger/BT50 MUST be fitted with 1/2inch ( 12mm lines) . Do not attempt to adapt smaller lines to work with the transmission as these transmissions require high fluid flow to prevent long term issues.

NOTE: most other Australian supplied transmission coolers kits use 4.5-5.0m of 10mm hose to get from the gearbox to front of the car. They also released them with restrictive, smaller coolers (16,000BTU rated) and when it was realised that their cooling was insufficient for many installs, a second cooler was added IN SERIES, which makes their heat capability close to our unit but too restrictive

By default, all PDI external transmission coolers are designed to be market leading through:

· Maximum efficiency 29,000BTU (energy dissipation unit of measure).

– Stacked Plate coolers – this is the best design you can use.

· Steel one-piece brackets (zinc plated and coated) to eliminate flexing of the aluminium cooler.

· High quality transmission cooler hose (rated to 400psi).

· Optimised location with transmission cooler mounted in front of the hot side of the intercooler – this is to ensure it doesn’t put heat straight back into the intake air.

NOTE: A number of other aftermarket systems place their transmission cooler in front of the cold side of the intercooler. We have had a number of retired mechanics realise the effects of this and looking to upgrade their intercooler since the higher intake air temps result in less torque and the transmission come out of lockup, which makes even more heat – they ended up with both intercooler and transmission cooler from PDI.

· Outlets on the side to prevent air locks inside the transmission cooler.

NOTE: Having the outlets at the bottom make the installation easier as the pipes are run down under the radiator, but if you get an airlock (from initial installation empty) there is a strong chance you will never actually fill the top of the coolers with fluid and designed cooler efficiency may never be reached.

· Designed to work with either the factory intercooler or a PDI upgraded front mounted intercooler. For more information CLICK HERE
