"Supporting local industrys" good man thats what we like to hear + we usually do make some of the best stuff in the world 👍. Though most of it has been sold off over the years without really thinking about the consequences for short term gains....

Nice - the Aussie Ford inline 6’s are probably the best engine bays to work in when doing DIY maintenance 👍👍

Bloody good job and good work PWR for helping out a great channel, You will be my first call when I need a radiator.👍

Just ordered a custom PWR radiator for my Manual Mitsubishi Magna Ralliart in sable black. I am build number 476 and I just want to say I love Aussie cars. I also have a Manual FGX XR6 Turbo and am considering the PWR Radiator for that too. My XR6T has some minor clutch drag though which is causing issues when shifting at high RPM and may also need synchros now. I do all my own work where practicable and have done Oil Pump gears, valve springs and the IMS diff hat upgrade. The car has driven me nuts with the clutch drag but all I have to say is take the challenges for your cars as they are, a challenge of your skills and resolve. Don’t get disheartened and remember what you love the car for to push through the hard times. Love your work Sean

Ahh, the convector, the dubiously named contraption that does so much, if not radiate. Silly automotive component names aside, I'm so looking forward to another Shorno video, this guy is a freekin legend.

0:17 that loading screen is hella cool

i defiantly recommend pwr, we use their trans cooler kits at the shop to replace the milkshaker on the BF-FG and SX-SY-SZ territories, never had one come back never had one fail or leak, fit perfect every time.

Kees and Paul are top blokes, great purchase there.

This was an awesome video I was not expecting to see. I will need a PWR radiator for my EF falcon build, the 55mm size was my choice too. This has confirmed to me PWR is the way to go! Thank you very much!

Now i'm thinking of installing the PWR radiator too... great video Sean...

Quality workmanship in that Aluminium Radiator thanks for another great video Sean

Hello from Slovenia. Great way to start the day. Thumbs up.

You've inspired me to consider doing this on my falcon. I assumed it would be a more challenging job. Great video as always 👍

Awesome stuff as always. Great to see you getting sponsorship

GOOD JOB.....!!! I did mine several years ago I paid 180 bucks the brand was 'SPOWER'- no leaks but 50mm core didn't stop it getting warm on extended idling..... Triton do a 'high flow' thermostat range 30% more flow - that didn't help either but mines a 5.4L maybe the setup is different..... don't get me wrong it did improve but the needle doesn't seem as steady as it used to be when pushing the car......... I dunno why...... I can suggest cleaning the thermofan couplings well and giving the pins a lick of dielectric grease..... I found mine didn't come on after the job and as usual the connectors needed a tweak..... to test it just flick on the A/C - they should always run while A/C is on......... Definitely a job worth doing because I am also told on the BA the tranny shares its cooling with the radiator internally and they are known to corrode and contaminate the tranny with coolant at around 200,000km - a tranny rebuild is 4 grand - so I just went ahead and did it - maybe the turbo has a separate tranny cooler - not sure mine and many others don't so for under 200 bucks its worth it on that front alone...!!!! www.ebay.com.au/itm/131655830081?fits=Plat_Gen%3ABA&epid=911738429&hash=item1ea74c8a41:g:fjQAAOSw3xJVf-uX

Great video mate. PWR are world class

She looks pretty cool and using local parts. You did great.

red coolant is better because it matches the color of the engine :) nice

thanks for your vid, doing timing chain set, harmonic balancer, radiator, inter cooler and valve springs in one job

Another easy & great video Sean. OEM radiators only last for 10 years. Mine lasted 15 before I had to replace it. It's a pity PWR don't make radiators for VY V6 engines so I'll stick with stock for now. I would have flushed the engine out of any excess coolant & double checked the thermostat. Thermo fans have always been a bugger lol.

I love the way you massage that hose bro. 😂👌🏼. It was very stimulating

Annoying thing is the FG's have the following N/A 6cyl - 16mm core 6cyl turbo - 26mm/27mm core, which is a big boost in cooling efficiency for a big lump of iron that really can get toasty..... (26mm would be ample for an N/A), 16mm is just a joke haha ! I've put a factory Turbo radiator in my G6E personally, keeps much more consistent temps running an 82° thermostat.

That Barra of yours is awesome don’t get rid of it also to another epic video keep them coming

Loving the build The PWR is a good brand

Those welds looked a row of nickles👍👍

Ford falcons, they don't have coolant bleader screw for removing trap air in system and it is important to put heather on hight position for some times for prevention of trapped air in coling system.

Great vid mate! Look forward to future mods 👍

Nice one mate👍cant wait to see whats next🤙

Just done the radiator in my bf and the condenser surprised me aswell, coming from older falcons

Great video and also worthwhile upgrade. I had the radiator explode on my Mondeo once - the mess is unreal 🤣 also upgraded the intercooler on my V50 T5 to a solid aluminium unit as the OE unit was a lot thinner and had plastic end caps! On a side note - love the tune 'Diggin In The Dirt' - it's so cool and was used on Sky ads here in the UK but unavailable on Spotify, Apple Music etc 😢

Love the channel mate.

Got a kick out of the Weld Porn on that PWR Radiator mate, looks bloody awesome! Nice little upgrade, looking forward to seeing what's to come! Hope the little ones letting you get some sort of sleep in these days haha Keep it going mate! :)

I might do the same in my au like the thermostat haven’t been changed since 01 and that 20 years I think

Take the top radiator mounts off to make it easier to slip the fans in. The will move forward just that little bit.

Awesome :-)

Another great video. They do a 55mm for AUs as well…

Overheating is no issue mine blew a hose going up a hill pulled over and suprise no coolant still runs like a dream to this day

Ah those plastic intake snorkels. Fit nothing except factory standard setups. I put an all aluminum rad in my Subaru and the snorkel needs some love with a small cutting wheel to make it fit because there's ribs in the way. Even replacing the battery in my wife's Kia to the listed "fits this car" as per Century's catalogue has it needing a good massage to go back on. Just.

excellent video

I did a similar job AFTER the original plastic radiator failed (the radiator top hose connector broke off halfway and all the coolant pumped out. The new all-aluminium radiator is the bees knees. My Ford is LPG, not turbo, so the radiator is thinner and easily fit with no mods needed.

Great video thanks

Some advice for the top radiator hose on BAs I double clamp the top hose near the thermostat. I find that they can pop off easily if you’re heavy on the throttle.

hey MotoringBox nice video as usual brother. this channel has been very helpful in learning about my own Falcons, and I will also be switching out my stock radiator for a PWR 55m in my BA thanks to you mate. Also would you consider selling your Au portable office table and other accessories that go with it?

Nice video mate! Keep in mind that if the cooling system is TOO efficent it can in and of itself cause an issue with running the car. For example if the car is running below its normal operating temperature due to a very efficent radiator it can cause fuel wash from running too rich, which can blow the engine due to things not getting the correct amount of lubrication. Just make sure that your operating temperature stays in normal range, or you might want to consider when you get a tune getting the cold operating part of the tune in the fueling tables moved back, so that it has its new operating temperature. Just something to look out for, a mate had the same issue when his thermostat was stuck open, and it wouldn't get up to temp at all, fuel wash ended up in ringland failure. All in all, thats a solid radiator option, they're fantastic build quality. The Spaghetti rod thing is a load of shit, they do have skinnier rods, but if you have a good quality tune, done by the right shop it will hold power no dramas, not saying it'll hold 500rwkw or anything, but they'll hold a decent amount of power when you put in your uprated valve springs to stop valve float, put in a uprated intercooler, as high IAT are a huge problem with these, and they make sure to tapper the boost correctly, and run it richer down low to protect those rods. Keep in mind after a tune go a thicker oil, as the oil temp will be higher and as your oil temp gets higher the oil viscosity gets lower. For example on most turbo's in a stock form i run a synthetic, full zinc 5W-40 like HPR5 from Penrite, and when they're tuned a bit i go to 10W-50 Tenths Racing from Penrite, the Zinc improves its overall protection, while the increase in viscosity means that when you are giving it the beans, the oil will keep it protected, as well as the shear free technolgy that Penrite puts into the Tenths Racing fluid. When it comes to the tuning side of things, the BA/BF manifold is pretty bad for turbo spool due to how they are made, you can upgrade your turbo manifold to a FG one, which improves spool, and then you can go to a FG turbo back exhaust off the shelf (venom is a great brand) and it'll bolt up. Another thing to keep in mind is with the faster boost you need to be careful of those rods still, as it can come in too fast. If you have any questions, feel free to reply and i'll answer what i can. Good job mate!

Thickness matters, but dont take my word for it... Ask your missus😏

Very 'cool' mate.

I should not have drank that coolant...

The green dedicated gas engines have the toughest rods. Who'd have thought the taxi engine is now sought after.

Hi Sean. I have been a fan of yours since the fairlane. Not sure but somehow i have been unsubscibed. I am back on again mate. Love your xr 6 and cant believe the quality of the pwr gear. They should partly sponsor your build mate. Cheers

Just ordered one of these,but im doing a spal 16" thermo fan with custom shroud.

Good stuff and great camera work, always prefer less uploads if it's tv quality, much appreciate.

Ive got a PWR trans cooler on my BA.

Do your radiator fans cycle on less often once it reaches operating temp. One thing I don't like about me falcon is how much noise the fans make when they cycle on. A better radiator might reduce that. Is that a BA/BF XR6 turbo and do the fans run sometimes after you remove the key from the ignition?

Have you noticed any difference in cooling with this radiator?

Thank you very much for your video. I changed my radiator today (BF Fairlane, 230 Barra V8 3V) with your help. I didn't remove the front bar. I replaced the rad with a Natrad OEM replacement and their instructions agree with you that stray voltage should be less than 50mV. Mine tested at 165mV engine running and 185mV engine off. Various forums say that below 300mV is acceptable. I'm a little worried and confused. Did that voltage reading (cheap DMM) cause the original radiator to deteriorate? Or am I fine?

You don't have to remove the front bar to undo the condenser, just remove the grill.

I really wish the radiator stuck out so it looks like a mock intercooler. Just had to replace mine in the BA and thought it might look sporty from the front but can't see a damn thing lol

Great video and Could you ask PWR for a factory tour?

So confusing on their website it says the PWR5100 and PWR5100A are both for the V8

Did you have to trim the fan shroud? When I put a thick rad in my Au I had to trim it down a bit

Wait until you go for a bigger intercooler. Those large core radiators become a pain in the ass. For the price of these PWR ones they would want to last forever

I got pwr trans cooler good so far

You'll notice on a stinking hot day you'll be able to leave your a/c on without the engine overheating 👍

Stray current , never heard of her ?

This video is Shornographic@

"...with the 10mm socket you already have in your hand..." ...said nobody ever.

Just a heads up, in the US FoMoCo has changed all their coolants to the yellow/gold standard instead of the orange/red type. They claim better water pump life, cooler temps and such but whatever. It may be worth checking out.

I have wanted a pwr radiator for me EL for such a long time. Maybe I have to start a KZfaq channel

🤔 I should invest in a pwr rad

I got a question Is it a good idea to put a after market Radiator in a stock XH Falcon Ute?

stray current or stray voltage? two different things...

YEAHH BOYYYY FIRST

this video came just after i almost broke my engine for not replacing my radiator... O_o if only this came a bit earlier ahah

i cant beleive they designed it so you had to take the front bar off to replace the radiator. thats just dumb.

The only thing worse than an old crusty stock radiator is a new generic eBay radiator. Lessons learnt...
