I'm back!! With questions and pics. LOL
Been gone for a while, and today I ended up installing the 2nd gen alternator Very happy with it. It looks good in my bay. Thanks to those who helped me with the wiring and research:
I also installed my Racing beat filter block. I have a lot going on there huh? I didn't have anything to use for the 3/8 port so I just installed a pressure gauge. Also got a new oil fill cap from them. It's really well made for the money:
While i'm here, I was looking to get the iscracing radiator. Do you guys know if it comes with the sides like it shows on their site? I think it would look good on my car and keep things cooler. The thing i'm worried about is clearance since right now my pulley is just millimeters from my e fan. This radiator is obviously thicker.
Wondering if I could install the e fan on the other side of the radiator like on bmw's. Or would I have to get another kind of fan? I'm using the Taurus fan now.
Here's a couple of pics for your viewing pleasure while you think of an answer:
Thanks guys!

love your car, everything looks great!
I have my fan (one from the vb catalouge) mounted in front of the radiator because I was concerned with the same thing you are. The engine didn't get any hotter than it normally did, so I'm assuming there's no problem there.

Ahh, you guys don't wanna see more pics of my car. Just the same old thing. Although you guys might get a kick out my fire extinguisher mounted on the passenger side:
And no I'm not a lesbian, just thought it was funny.

you won't have a problem installing a pull fan on the front of the radiator. it sholdn't hurt any. as far as the isc radiator, if your engine temps are fine now, i wouldn't worry about the isc radiator. if your e'fan is close now and you install a 3 core or thicker radiator, you may be really pushing your luck.
the new filter block looks great! i didnt know that atkins rotary made oil filerts! any advantage to using them? perhaps a sturdier anti-drain back valve or someting?

The last time I drove it, my e-fan fuse blew because of a short and I saw my temp gauge needle rising quick and I have my water methanol to kick on on higher boost. It did not overheat, but that's one of the things that scare me.
I bought a bunch of those filters when I went to Washington to visit them. They have the specs on them on their site. I like um.
Thanks guys for your kind words about my car. Keep in mind last year I didn't even know how a rotary engine worked. LOL

the more i see those rx-8 seat the more i feel like i want to get some ... i like where you place the fire extinguisher i might have to steal that one, it would be pretty convenient there. Also I think you're lacking some pictures of your self and you have to be in the car while taking it so that you don't wear a bra

By the way, what pulley are you running? I have a #11 (not enough boost) on it now, and I have a #7 (too much boost), so I need to get a #9 and see what that does...I think they are about $125 each though.
