Cooling

[oka065]

I will be fitting a 6.5 turbo to my vehicle in the next 2 months & I need to know the surface area of the radiator & fluid capacity. I am replacing a 4 cyl Perkins phaser. I live in Australia so it will be working from 0-50 deg C. The truck weighs 4.6 ton & boat or trailor 1.8 ton.

Given the history of these engines for running hot I would put in as large of a system as possible. Does your motor have the cooling upgrades? Also make sure you put in a LARGE oil cooler and trans cooler if it is an auto.
How do you like the GTO? what kind of aftermarket performance stuff is available for them over there?
Hope this helps...

Monaro is bone stock 245kw I think the GTO is 260kw. There are people over here that will remap the comp for about $800.00 AUD this gains about 40 kw.
