Tunes are calibrated for specific map sensors. The one that comes with the kit is fine, it's just that their revised tune was made around their map sensor (the red one). Get the wrong map sensor for the tune you have and the car won't even idle, just like what happened with my car when my map sensor failed.

Any tuning shop here in Deep South TX can install and tune this kit? Thanks in advance.

Whats the difference with this map sensor? I may have missed it but what makes you need this map sensor over the one they sent.

sent from your mom

The paperwork that came with it described it as "MAP Sensor, Hondata, 4 Bar K S". Not sure what the Denso MAP Sensor that came with my original kit is spec'd at.

I'm wondering the same thing, that's my next upgrade as is the oil cooler

may the schwartz be with you....

I will probably upgrade the oil cooler and radiator before the kit, so it will be ready to use for track ..once I install them I will report back :)

I though people were getting adequate cooling out of the stock radiator. Oil is an issue but water was fine.

I tend to forget how hot it was living in the furnace. Man I don't miss that place at all. Except for a few restaurants like Aunt Chiladas, Papa Deux, Fajitas, and the AZ staple (Insert name)bertos. Other than that the heat just kills me now every time we go back to visit family which for whatever reason always seems to be in the middle of the summer.

The radiator we chose was an OTS Koyo unit designed to be plug and play for the FR-S it is about 3x the thickness of the factory radiator. One of the main reasons for this addition was that we were very unhappy with factory cooling in even the stock car during idle situations. And when we did our first autox and dyno the car seemed to have temp spikes after hard runs which caused surges of 217-220F. The factory setting of the radiator fans is set for 212F before they kick on. Often the temps would surge well beyond that before the fans dropped the temps. Clearly this is bad if you are going to run any type of forced induction. The Koyo unit may not be the highest quality to meet cooling snob requirements however the surface area and core are much larger than OEM for a very reasonable cost which means, the radiator will cooler quicker and won’t heat soak as fast.
