And just a question about the actual oil coolers set up; are they designed to be connected in series or parallel?

RotorMotor 06-16-09 09:06 AM

They are run in series. There is no advantage to running them parallel (you would need two separate thermostats... but the functionality would still be the same). -Heath

You can run them in parallel with one thermostat, by using Y splitter fittings. Some seem to think it's a better system. But the track reports we get back from our system have been nothing but good, so there is no need to run them parallel. The price increase from the extra lines and hardware would also be hard to justify for most customers. I think you will be more then satisfied with the system in series :)

Thanks Yannis :) it's worth the wait... you shouldn't have any overheating problems after the coolers

Took out the misquoted part about having a 99 front end. i've got the stock 93 front end. And although it looks straight forward, does it come with a hint of instructions? I've done most everything to my car, but some instructions always help.

Tim, Thanks for the deposit :)

While it IS somewhat straight forward, there are a few tips, tricks, and instructions that would be helpfull for a first time installer. I'm doing a full writeup soon that will include step by step instructions/pictures for the installation. I've had this on my To-Do list for months now but still haven't gotten around to it (and I've taken alot of flack for it from Dan ;) sorry Dan) so I'm going to set a goal for myself... 2 weeks we should have a full step by step writeup. Now... lets see if I can keep my promise :D

Thanks again Tim!

For the 93 bumpers the coolers sit so close that you dont need an airduct... the bumper opening itself acts as an airduct (there wouldnt be enough clearance to get ducting in there anyway).

The 99 bumpers have the coolers sitting back a little farther... while not required, ducting could possibly help a little for the 99s (though we still havent had any overheating problems so ducing these kits may be a moot point). We currently do not have 99 ducting available, but we are working on a prototype to be mass produced. Regardless, the coolers are already so efficient that ducting may not have much of an impact anyway... but we are working to make them available sometime in the future :)

Yes, and I'm working on them now. Hopefully another week and they should be ready. Also I'm happy to answer any installation questions you may have now (before the install instructions are done). -Heath

FDSeoul 06-25-09 06:55 PM

Great news. best of luck with the completion of the instructions..............

RotorMotor 07-01-09 01:43 PM

Tim Benton, Thanks for the final payment! As I have messaged Tim and a few other customers, we have recently had problems sourcing a specific size banjo fitting which is used in every kit. We have tried multiple suppliers with the same response... "out of stock" . We have grabbed up all of the available fittings we have been able to get our hands on, and have a small shipment on the way from Germany. The only problem is that there may be a 3-4 week wait time on the fittings (which unfortunately will delay shipping of further kits). We are working on another solution which removes the need for the now hard to find banjo fitting, but for now expect a 3-4week delay for subsequent shipments of kits :( . After that we hope to be back on track...

Here is the updated list.

I got my kit last Monday! Everything was very carefully packed and look great.

I have to say that Heath has been super-helpful and provided excellent customer service all along my order.

All that's left now is those installation instructions...:gwink:

Hey Yanis! Thank you for the kind words, and I'm happy to hear everything made it safely to Greece and did not get held by customs :D .

Dan and I are working on the instructions now. Tomorrow may be too soon, hopefully the day after we will have everything in order. Unfortunately my basement flooded and I haven't been able to walk through a complete install the last weekend. Not to worry, Dan and I both have many installation pictures to pick through. You will most likely notice 4 separate mazda paint codes in this upcoming cobbled together instructions sheet ;).... once everything is back to normal I will do an even more thorough walkthrough. But for now we hope to have something that will easily get you through the instalation. Keep an eye on this thread, we'll post a link here shortly.

Thank you! -Heath :)
