however the ac condensor mounts make no sense to me, what so ever, wtf? I used strip steel stampings(with the holes pre drilled)to mount the condensor, and had to toss the vortech fmic mounts, it needed to shift passenger to make room for the AC stuff

can you post a pic of your fmic and rad install?

while it all fit right in, snug, the install is not for the timid. I had to hack at the mounting and fiddle with it for hours to get it right, but its right, now.

the mount points for the fan shroud,way off, nothing a few minutes with a drill or dremel couldnt solve, but it could be a cleaner fit in "v3", the shroud isnt flush and I resorted to stuffing the gap with foam and laying some 100mph gorilla tape over it for good measure-this is independent of my fmic

David, I'm gonna take it VERY easy and not get into my cars build, my power or promotion of its build-thats the thing that keeps getting me banned. I say its making 280/300/320whp and next thing ya know someone is challenging my dyno readings, my altitude,my mom, etc, not here for that. we all know more power can be made than what I aim for: this is why I think I have been fortunate enough to help develop and test some really killer parts with this car. Had the robispec radiator for a LONG while, just got to putting it in, since I tore down my car for the new Oil fed vortech sc install, this allows me to track my car with the 13+ psi pulley, makes temp management of the fi system a non issue; so lets just say its both fast and bulletproof. 100% oe fuel pump and injection. /end threadjack

back to your build, the turbo guys may want this: aquamist product that just came out- the BRZ summer module is ready to go today. I know the guys at ecutek were gifted the same wmi kit I bought and they are toying with a ecutek software solution to do the IDC summing, today its a few more wires and there is a bit more tuning burden with the way I have it, so thats another one thats great on any FI car, 91 or 93. Something I think your build, (which has come along nicely I may add,) may benefit too. What kind of power would you tune for if you were on say 98 octane(with the push of a button on of 91?) yes this means more heat, but yeah more fun too, so long as heat out put is in check.

I believe you may have V 1 of the rad? I had issues fitting V 1 too and ended up returning it. I will take lots of pics of the install, so I will be sure to share them with you. I hope the community has already moved on from complaining about power numbers, but I also know how that goes. Everyone will always have an opinion and that's when shit starts hitting the fan. OE pump and injectors at 10.5 psi?? Awesome!

Thanks for the kind words. I will look at the WMI kit more closely Honestly, thanks for pushing the platform the way you do.
