Heres what I did.
Heres my suction line
Sucks from the left and pumps to my tranny cooler and is then fed into my heat exchanger.
Heres where I tied into my heater hoses
Finished product.
Okay originally I went with just my tranny cooler but it was only hot for a minute or so because there was too much flow. Then I got the smallest heat exchanger I could find for mounting purposes but it would only get warm not hot. So I decided to run it thru the tranny cooler and then thru the heat exchanger, it gets seriously hot now. With the engine at idle the water is warm not hot so with my hand throttle I run it at about 2000rpm and the water is almost too hot even when sourced from a mountain stream. I also put a valve at the shower head to slow the flow if the water was not hot enough but I find it unneccessary. I can also infinitely adjust water temp with the heater controls. This thing works better than I could have hoped and was a big hit with everyone who used it, I think this is one of my best mods yet.
