From what ive read after seeing this thread bar and plate does a better job (35% keeps getting used) of cooling the air....regarding every other aspect, i.e flow rates, pressure drop, keep getting conflicting stories...

Anyone enlightened care to fill me in?

Haha, this is a good deal, but I just found out my rear main seal is bad! So my money is going there. Jason is going to have to sell me a Exedy hyper single instead. LOL!

Yes, you have to move the battery.

Jason or anybody who's gotten this, any chance you could get a tape measure and measure this for me?

Cooling wise the V spec and the R spec are more efficient because they are the tube and fin design where the bar and plate just isnt as good. Pressure drop depends on the number of rows and size of the intercooler. Someone correct me if I am wrong

Here's a few pics of my install. Like almost everyone else that has ever installed Greddy FMICs, I had to fab up my own radiator brackets, which wasn't hard at all.
