It's been a while since I've updated this thread but the project is still going strong. I promise. Will have more updates to share in the coming week.
But I do have one really exciting update for today. @
VeloxEric hooked me up with a prototype radiator!! This thing is awesome! It is a direct drop in replacement for the OEM radiator and the fit was absolutely perfect. This radiator uses a motorsport specific core technology that has a very high density. Because of it's ultra high efficiency construction a smaller, lighter core can be used and still be able to shed a massive amount of heat. The entire assembly without fans is only 5kg. It is the highest quality core I have seen this side of a $20k Mezzo unit. I don't typically share anything personal on the forum but to put this in perspective I feel like it should be noted that I spent years as a development engineer for what is arguably one of the most successful race teams in the world. Long story short, I've seen a lot of high quality parts. This ranks right up there with the best. I really hope it makes it to market because there is nothing else like it for this platform. Not even close.
Enjoy the pics!
Check out the difference in tube density between the CBR and Velox radiator. And the CBR is even much high higher quality than Mishimoto, etc.
About 2" additional clearance vs. oem shroud for those with a front mount turbo.
