no, not really.... you would be qualified to speak intelligently about your own employ and facility.

anyways, this thread isnt about dynos, so lets not thread jack it with our differences....*big hug*

Are we seeing the Robispec giant radiator/oil cooler combo installed on this car?



The core thickness and the way the oil cooler lines drop down I'm pretty sure it is the Robispec.

bump for radiator confirmation if it wasn't already mentioned.

[digital_assassin]

That definitely looks like a Robispec Radiator.

it is indeed a robospec radiator on the car....due to time constraints we felt this was the best solution

a skunk2 ultra series (with cooler) and alpha series radiator (without cooler) will be coming out for this car in the near future

I just spoke with a Kraftwerks dealer who installs their kits and is looking at this SC for his own FR-S. He thought the SC came with a base tune? Kraftwerks' website, however, says no tune is provided. I'm assuming their web site is correct, but does anyone know for sure?

I'm assuming you couldn't just install this SC and drive the car 50 miles to get a tune...correct?

the kit will be offered with or without a tune depending on the buyers preference.

the special $3695 intro offer is for the base kit without tuning solution

What info are you looking for? I've had pretty good responses from @gmsii through PM's but I don't expect immediate answers either as I'd guess he only jumps on here once in a while. If you emailed the sales email address it's been my experience most companies have a 2-3 day lag on response.

Is the price is 3695$ - the 300$ deposit or it +?

If I make a deposit today, when I could expect to receive the kit?

I would like to get a shipping quotes before to buy it since I'm in canada... here is my full adress : 605 ch de la beauce, Calixa-Lavallée, J0L1A0, Quebec, Canada.

Does it come with an ecutek starting map?

With the kit, is there an oil cooler for the engine? I saw there was one for the rotrex AND for the engine. Is that true?

With this kit, do I need a aftermarket clutch, injectors, bigger radiator,etc ?

What kind of number should I expect with this kit like it is? Is there anyroom for improvement ?


That kind of info that is not clear on this thread!

[gmsii]

to answer your questions:

Q: Is the price is 3695$ - the 300$ deposit or it +?
A: $300 deposit / $3395 (+tax if applicable) balance at delivery

Q: If I make a deposit today, when I could expect to receive the kit?
A: Ship date before Nov 31. If it does not ship by then, the deposit if refundable.

Q: I would like to get a shipping quotes before to buy it since I'm in canada.
A: Call or email Brian in customer service to run you a shipping quote. 951-808-9888 or BrianN@skunk2.com

Q: Does it come with an ecutek starting map?
A: the $3695 version is a 'u tune' kit...we will offer a tuned option using Ecutek, but have not finalized pricing for that yet.

Q: With the kit, is there an oil cooler for the engine?
A: the kit does not include or require the use of an engine oil cooler. A complete engine oil cooler kit will be available and released by Skunk2 at the end of November.

Q: I saw there was one (oil cooler) for the rotrex AND for the engine. Is that true?
A: the rotrex oil cooler is included with the kit.

Q: With this kit, do I need a aftermarket clutch, injectors, bigger radiator,etc ?
A: An aftermarket clutch is recommended but not required. Bigger injectors are not required. Radiator is not required.

Q: What kind of number should I expect with this kit like it is? Is there anyroom for improvement ?
A: the base kit will make atleast 85-90 wheel horsepower over stock engine. we are still testing various pulley configurations to determine the best balance of power and driveability. the kit will offer a clear upgrade path all the way up to the C38 supercharger which can move enough air to support 600+bhp

let us know if you have anymore questions
