We're still waiting on the new brackets to come in from production. they should be here in about a week. As far as your kit is concerned, it will be another week for it to be shipped to me, at which point I can meet up with you. So it should be about 2 more weeks for your kit. Everyone else still waiting, we should be resuming shipping kits as soon as the new brackets arrive.

Is there enough room behind the 19row oil coolers to use the setrab fan? http://www.bakerprecision.com/setrab1.htm

Any type uphill canyon and any type of low speed (2nd gear, sometimes 3rd) roads just brutalize my oil temps, climb up to 240-250f pretty easily.
just a typical bolt on r1, all the major reliability mods running 12psi.
not to mention the socal stop and go traffic with 95+ degree temps, that type of stuff rockets my oil temps to 250 really easily, Have to rock out with the heat on full blast, Its like a sauna :P, have had to do many illegal double yellow into the car pool lane for some airflow.
I know the RX-8 guys use these and have great results.

good news is that we are wrapping up the next production run of kits. The bad news is that we are still waiting on one of the brackets needed for the kit which is holding everything up. At this point we are still looking at 2-3 weeks from now before we can begin shipping kits once again. I have received countless emails asking when the next batch of kits will be ready... with a number of people even offering to even pre-buy spots on the non-existent next GB list We are working as fast as possible to get everything ready to go for another round but at this point all we can do is wait for the brackets to come in.... I know that things can drag out but we are really pushing hard for a 2-3 week time frame. If you guys want to create a new list now you are welcome to... or just check back in a couple weeks from now.

We are still waiting on one bracket to come back from production which has put a serious stop on our ability to sell kits. The bracket in question should hopefully be arriving in a week and we will resume selling the cooler kits then.

Just worried, I experience ALOT of looooong hot days with traffic in socal, Also many local roads I like driving are slow speed uphill roads, Little airflow is seen, Just really wanna do it once and do it right.
Big difference in cooling on road coarse where 60+ speeds are common vs 20-40mph uphill roads.

The main problem with traffic and my current setup, the fans don't come on till 220 with the pettit ecu, No airflow to oil coolers in 1-10mph traffic with no radiator fans on till very late = high temps all around. The car has never overheated but temps will chill at 220f coolant, 240f oil.
Im sure a power fc and datalogit will cure my fan coming on late problem.
r1, rotary extreme regular vmount + airbox, stock undertray, stock 93 front bumper, pettit ecu, rb catback, high flow cat, bonez downpipe, halman mbc @ 12psi.
Ill probably just need to bite the bullet and go for the 25 rows, Its the same as going 19 rows with fans.
butttttt, can fans fit on the 25 rows ? haha

did a little googling... you can see that when the fans are NOT running youre seriously reducing airflow. Keep in mind, the 25 row even with no airflow has more surface area and simply radiates more heat

Happy New Year... any updates on the bracket?
I am hoping enough time has gone by that you guys finally got the brackets in.
I need to chat with you live about my situation. 94 bumper with the running light taken out as well. Can I "duct" from the lower oil cooler opening and running light opening to the 25 row oil cooler?
Let me know what they best way is for us to chat for a bit. I want to make sure I can pull it off.
Thank you.

Happy New year to you as well
We are good to go, all the updated brackets are in stock. I don't see any reason why you couldn't duct from the running light opening, you would have to notch the rebar though.
PM me or Rotormotor and we can chat on the phone or however works best for you .

93+ doesnt need ducts as the cooler sits directly on top of the inlet. The 99 could use ducts... however, they would only work with stock 99 bumpers and may require the 99 rebar to clear. Basically what we could offer would be so limited that most customers still end up in the position of making their own (plus they are quite simple to make with some tin snips, a piece of aluminum sheet, and some matte black spray paint . Even without ducts, we have had customers test this setup at the track and could not get the car to overheat.
