As always I have only good words for your videos, excellent explanation as well as all the products you manufacture.

Yet another amazing innovation from KAON ❤

[roberttenberge]

Perfect timing. This is the next Kaon upgrade to my 150. Thank you for fantastic products

Really enjoying Tin doing these product installs as I find he is very thorough with his descriptions and instructions. Another product I really need to look at getting but does it interfere with the Kaon BCDC bracket that I already have?

[marklaurendet]

Looks good
I think I see the front tie down hooks, no recovery points installed?

[HaT-yi]

Does Kaon (ie transmission cooler in particular ) has an authorized dealer in the USA?
Also do the mounting brackets fit on the Lexus GX 460?
Thank you for your assistance.

Keen for you to put together a Trans cooler Kit for the Prado 120 4ltr V6 as i assume it would be very similar to the 150 with some minor mods like brackets. Please provide some feedback here (noting there is a 120 kit available from a well known east coast trans shop but it is pricey for what it is)

Does blocking the radiator affect engine temps?

[krh]

I just checked my 07 GXL 120 V6 and realised it already has a factory external Trans cooler mounted on the Left (passenger) side and that is also where the entry/exit points to the internal cooler inside the radiator are.
One line from the trans goes direct to the upper connection on the radiator, the other line from the Trans goes direct to the external cooler, the lower connection for internal cooler goes direct to the external cooler to complete the circuit.
The factory external trans cooler is smaller than the cooler product you show in this video for the 150 conversion.
My question is it worth switching out the factory cooler for a larger version like yours? or just leaving existing factory cooler as it is?

[cjwest]

Anyone know if the jdm prado 2023 comes standard with a transmission cooler, as i seem to have another coolant reservoir right side of the existing engine coolant..unless this is the egr coolant reservoir?

[mrjohnnnn]

i cant seem to find a kit for the petrol version? mines a 150 series v6

[outbackya]

Hey guys is this new unit already advertised on your website? And will this be compatible with the dcdc charger already fixed around the same area?

Transmission cooler vs transmission lock up tune what’s better?

[richardwalsh]

Why can't yours and other brand coolers go on rhs. My Factory Redarc bracket is on lhs. A lot of people run Redarc Bec's.
