Lots of guys here have reported problems after installing electric fans onto S4's. The S5's 80A alternator provides a bit of headroom over the S4's 70A one, but the 100A FD one is best if you can get it. Between those stereo amps and a fan that'll draw 10-20A, I think you'll need to upgrade.
Why the electric water pump? Unless you're planning some constant high-rpm stuff there's really no advantage, and it'll be another load on your electrical system.

Being the JDM version it has even less stuff in it than normal 'verts and the car dosent really feel as heavy as people would lead you to think.

My JDM 'vert has everything. What did you miss out on?

I really want to get it onto a weightbridge one day.

Me too. I've heard everything from 1360kg to over 1400kg, so confirmation would be nice.

Turbo 'verts rock.

ive had the same amps in my S2 (12aT) with an e-fan and ecu running a S4 alt and a far worse battery i have now, it more was than fine

. the oddessey battery does wonders for any power system!! and it has no proplems getting a full charge. but at some stage i will need more... I still think 100 amp will be overkill, but whats wrong with overkill lol

Im looking into the EWP as they a far superior way of controling your cooling system. they are proven to provide resonable power gains for their cost (below 7500 RPM too) they have a very low current draw. Have a look for some good info on them on ausrotary.com, in some posts by "kypreo"

I parked next to a aussie spec 'vert a little while back while it was at a local workshop, i was suprised that it had stuff mine didn't actually (othert than the headrest speakers)

my vert dosent have the headrest speaker system and it only had a basic audio pack (there were no amps and no traces of them being removed.)
ive got no headlight washers (aussie verts had them)

there is more stuff that no doubt i will think of as soon as i submit this post
