Where is the return line located on the radiator? I wanna connect from the radiator return --> the B&M cooler --> back to the transmission (disconnected return line).

 

For whatever reason, I lost/misplaced mine. I think the mrs threw them away, but does anyone have or can tell me where I can get the attachment pieces? It's the ones that come with the trans coolers; they look like extremely long and skinny, plastic thumb tacks or push pins.

 

This pieces? The tab that secures the cooler to the radiator?

 

That's exactly the pieces I'm talking about.

 

I saw them at PEP Boys awhile ago. I see them in the Jegs catalog for $6 listed under "Universal nylon tie mounting kit"

 

I bought a B&M and also putting Amsoil...Need as much cooling as possible when you pumping ~300whp.

 

Show off . Great job man, that's my goal but staying n/a. Thanks GILLEXUS I appreciate that.

 

can anyone clarify before I put mine on which one is the return line and which one feeds the fluid to the radiator. Thanks in advance

 

^ also discussed here. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...ns-cooler.html

 

Can anybody supply me with pictures on where the lines connect to? It seems like nobody posts any of those but I have never done anything along these lines so any help would be greatly appreciated....

 

do you have the cooler? if so...its really easy to see where its goes if you get under there and take a look...thats assuming you know anything about cars

 

another one.



If you go under your car and remove the bottom cover..the return line is the bent/curved one from the radiatgor.

 

I dont have it yet. Ordering it tomorrow. I am guessing that this is a idiot thing to do as nobody has any actual pictures. I like drawings but just like seeing what I should see under there.....

I'll be posting pictures when i do it...

Thanks for responding though guys....Just getting the car ready for the cross country trip again...with a trailer...

 

Also what fluid will I add....I am assuming transmission fluid.....No idea though...

 

I ordered mine from Summit Racing, got the model number in this thread. Had VVTi and the boys at Hennessy Lexus install it with Amsoil Tranny fluid. Seems many people believe its the best Tranny fluid you can buy. Make sure they take ALL the OLD tranny fluid out first. It took I think 14 quarts or so in the GS. The Tranny fluid will cost about $120 or so if I remember right if you buy the Amsol membership. The Tranny cooler was $60 or so I think.

My 01 GS 430 has 183k miles and its gives me extra peace of mind and confidence since I do drive it hard. I did this back in November and the tranny feels great and I've had no issues.
