Haltech can turn off the entire relay box. You'll be alright!

Come to think of it, what are you doing about brakes? I would think with your power goals and the amount of grip you'll have, a full racing brake setup with ducts would be the only choice for track driving.

Yea man, for sure, haven't gotten there yet, but When the car is operational and tuned, the trans will be upgraded to the magnum t56 or sequential, and the brakes will be upgraded to 14" kit. also a diff cooler might be needed and some driving lessons :0 lol

For now just trying to make it through the budget and the main stuff

Guys, life is great we have to always make the best of it. So burried in work sometimes, that nature passes us bye, so we can't forget whats important.

James with the white FD from the pics above, (RBkouki) one of the coolest guys and best friends in the world, he went into the ER last night with acute liver failure. Very health conscious guy. Hard to believe that 3 nights ago we were all hanging out making vids and now this out of nowhere. We are praying for the best; please keep him in your thoughts.

It is questionable, but worth a shot before going bigger.

Mad mike, TCP magic, and that 7tune white FD all use koyo type radiator mounted this way and seem to do fine w stocks. Of course those are all n/a engines. The boosted 4 rotor miata has rear mounted radiator and same w the new tcp magic twin turbo 4 rotor fd. Again, even that one though has the koyo mounted in rear.

The 20b definitely had warmer temps then the 13b, but it did have large fmic blocking all of the bumper. Im strongly anticipating a suprise by having nothing obstructing this radiator. With some ducting, undertray and these rx8 fans, we'll see if getting intercooler out of way makes difference.

Yea I was concerned about the Koyo myself. I have big 3 row 2nd gen Supra rad in mine that I paid about $120 on ebay. Zero cooling issues with my dual 25row oil coolers. I gotta locate the old pics I took of the size comparisons so you can see the difference if you need to upgrade in the future.

That would be really cool please lmk

Did you run the koyo first to assess?

I really think airflow has alot to do with it. Without the fmic is should be huge difference
