the coolant in heat exchanger is not shared with the radiator. It's its own system. just disconnect one of the hoses (not sure which is best) from the heat exchanger and you'll get that fluid.

if you have hptuners, you can manually turn on the intercooler pump and flush out the coolant from the intake manifold as well.
