as for track use durability, it should be noted that sport car motion record holding time FF time attack cars use rotrex without sc overheating problems...also hondata record holding landpspeed car does not have overheating problems...you can also see plenty off other cars and race cars that use rotrex chargers on the kraftwerks website or facebook page

Thanks for the reply.
Ok so all of these kits ship with the res/sc oil cooler I am assuming?
From my perspective you guys are trying to manage heat of the SC unit right out of the box so obvious questions are:
- Do you provide a way to monitor oil temps for SC? Have you logged this data on track?
I understand you have the data from other platforms. I like to see FRS/BRZ specific platform testing. From my experience this car has high under hood temperatures. The bottom of the engine bay is pretty much sealed up and the hood allows for almost no ventilation. You throw a monster IC up front, bigger radiator/Oil cooler and now an SC Oil cooler all that heat and no ventilation is going to be even higher than most S/C kits. That's why I am asking for data from track testing.
- What are your oil change intervals and what type of oil are you using in the SC?
Thanks
