Biggsy's Track Build

Does the Fluidyne rad require A/C delete?

yup. it is.

That means this kit will bolt up.

The cooling capacity of the included oil cooler is mid at best though.

Unless I short-shift at 6k, I am hitting 260 oil temp in 10 minutes. I added actual gauges.

I see you removed all your flappers. I left mine in.

yup. Just followed the TSB and they remove the flappers from air flow improvement

yea i was looking at that initially. the adapter by itself is the same cost of the kit lol. crazy

where are you getting the temps from?

no idea. I removed my ac stuff a year or so ago. dont want to mislead you and say it should fit.

Sandwich plate at the filter. Gauges are from Speedhut.

another small project i am working on if all parts come in this week is relocating the coolant tank to improve air flow behind the radiator and optimize hood vents.

purchased an s650 coolant tank because it is deeper and not as wide. Will go near driver side strut tower. this will also allow me to fit PMAS CAI.

similar to this.

Making the hoses DIY is no big deal. Get this and you will succeed easily.
I like to terminate one end, screw it into place, then feed the hose to the other location. That way I can truly measure the perfect length.

I will say that IR fittings and hose are very high quality and leak-proof.

I plan to go with BMRS assemblies and I think a 4k tool is needed lol so I will let IR handle that
