Seems the working pressure through the cooler must be much lower. I ask because I am about to try to splice a cooler into my transmission lines. |

I’m working on a DCT cooler set up as well. Costing me an arm and a leg but it’s the route I wanted to go. Using the ER drivers side cooler with custom bracket so I can use the ppk2 radiator mounting solution. Went with improved racing braided lines, AN fittings, improved racing thermostat, and converted to MT coolant lines and radiator. About half way through the install. Need to design and print a bracket for the thermostat and router the lines. Also went with a bigger DCT pan from hpr. Will post back when I’m done as well.

finally finished my install. hoping to go for a drive in the next day or two but so far so good. no leaks.
I ended up making a bracket for the external thermostat that mounts in the same location as the DCT heat exchanger. I also installed the BW dry break fitting to get an extra quart in (GTS fill) after the ISTA fill procedure was completed. In total, I have about 9 quarts in the trans now. For the oil cooler lines, I ended up using the factory hard line locations. For the location at the front of the oil pan, I made an L bracket to mount the oil line clamps to. Also, if you go with the HPR TCA, you need a 45 angle AN fitting for the upper banjo, a straight fitting will not work as it hits a part of the transmission case. All of the oil lines, fittings, and thermostat were from Improved Racing. I used an angle grinder with cut off wheel to make the lines, which was my first time doing, and it was straightforward. Everything from HPR, Improved racing, bimmerworld, and ER from customer support to quality of products is top notch. Additional pictures to show how I routed lines, thermostat bracket, etc.

track car questions
Not meant to threadjack nor do I know if you guys are out here but this came up when I was searching so I will post to here. Just retired my e36 after a failed dct swap. Car runs just not well so I looked for another car and stumbled upon the 135I. SInce you are close to me and you track alot I thought this might be the place for my first post. Did you do anything with the stock diff or gear ratio?
Is the m3 rear end swap the way go and does the different ratio mess with the DCT program? Thank you! Jay |
