The Innovate/Sprintex kit is similarly involved, as is the Cosworth, and, I speculate, the Harrop. If you are uncomfortable performing the installation, I'd recommend you find a local shop that can install the kit for you. |
CSG, I'm assuming the R&D on this kit was designed around not having an oil cooler. Would an oil cooler be needed for a pure DD that's not going to see any track usage? Edelbrock is marketing this as an all inclusive kit but for a DD are there other things that are considered must have complimentary upgrades? Thanks.

For a DD an oil cooler is completely unnecessary. You want oil to be 100-110C. With my Sprintex and cruising on a Spanish motorway in summer for hours I never saw oil temps over 105C and they drop off as soon as you come off the throttle.

If you're going for spirited drives that have sustained high RPM, or are tracking the vehicles, you should have an oil cooler. Edelbrock probably has something in the works, but there are several options that fit, if you decide you need an oil cooler. The OEM FA20DIT cooler is a perfect match for street driving, and casual spirited drives; it is not suited for track driving. |
But Mike, what about the mishimoto sandwich plate that fits the 15 wrx, supposed to work with an air to oil cooler along with the water to oil cooler :)

At first I wasn't too intersted in this particular setup. Because of the lower peak numbers, but I'm thinking this + oil cooler + E85 could be pretty awesome because of the big midrange bump......
Seems as though with E85 it would be pretty easy to add even more midrange and peak power, without maxing out the fuel system. That's an intriguing idea. Essentially use E85 to bring it up to JRSC peak levels. |

@CSG Mike any idea how much more cranking power you need from the battery with this?
I was planning on going with one of the lightweight batteries, but was curious if they would still have the juice to crank this over. |
The high low and mid-range torque isn't surprising. TVS blowers are extremely efficient and always make tons of low-end power.
@Alltezza depends on design. TVS blowers like these usually do not whine unless you're spinning them to make 15+ PSI. Traditional roots and twin screw blowers have a lot more whine. An aftermarket open element intake will help increase whine, but you likely will not notice much. |

I have an unhealthy amount of want for this.
