Another RE V-Mount on the road
First of all I just want to give Chuck at Rotary Extreme props, he did such a good job on my car, he is an outstanding person to deal with. While he was in the process of installation he kept me updated with everything and even e-mailing me pics. He sure got my business from now on, I will be dealing with him with everything that I need for my baby. I am now a Rotary Extreme junky..LOL.
ThankS Chuck.........
I am so impressed with the kit water temps stayed at 73c at which I never saw with my old set-up even if I had a KOYO already in there, Air Temps Stayed at 29c which I never saw with my Greddy SMIC. I am so pleased with this kit and it was worth every dollar that I spent.
Now for the pics
Old set up
New set up

Your super low water temp has something to do with removal of the A/C condenser. If the A/C condenser is still on the car, the water temp should stay around 83-85 C. The black car I just finished before yours has almost the exact same setup as yours but with A/C condenser and it has water temp in the 83-85C range. Maybe we should open up the passenger side shield to let some fresh air going to the air filters. 73C is kind of too low for water temp. Or you can just race your car like crazy to bring the water temp up.

Take some more engine bay pics. I'd also like to see one from the mouth of the front end.
Please.
Specifically I'd like to see how the shielding is held in (sealed on the body and components), sealing towards the aft of the setup (where rad meets IC), and how it meets up with the front end.
TIA,
Please.
