The HKS v2 is now fitted

I had ordered a mishimoto oil cooler kit to fit at the same time as doing the SC install knowing full well that I would probably need to mount aspects of the SC and Oil Cooler kit differently.





I've mounted the oil cooler alongside the intercooler, cut the oil lines to shorter lengths to allow me to get it fitted here. I've mounted the traction fluid cooler behind the 'cold side' of the intercooler.






Installed a delicious tunings flash and go tune and the car is running well

Does everyone run rota's in europe? I dont hate on the company but since you have a serious track car id be concerned about the reputation of them having dramatic failures.

That looks great! Scott@HKSUSA is the US Spec. version still going to be CARB legal, and is there a V3 kit in the works?

I appreciate your interest but all I can say right now is: HKS is continuing to R&D bigger/better/faster/more efficient FA20 parts. Release dates, details, & CARB certs are honestly unknown at this moment.

A lot of people do, I've never had an issue with them personally, nor do I know anyone that has had a failure. I have seen the pictures on the net though.

Runs very well when up to temp with the Delicious flash and go tune

Can you tell me what the pulley size is on the kit? I want to workout the RPM its spinning at.

I've been there. Returned my 86 back to stock and nearly sold it. I'm a Honda guy also and they make a remarkable engine. Almost bought an s2k, but sticking it out with the 86

Why? Curious, what did you not like about the 86?
