Ok so I took the blower of today as kraftwerks requested. They asked that I cleaned it to see if I could track down where the grease was coming from but it's pretty obvious. So I figured I'd post the picture here in the event the email doesn't go through to them like last week. I had trouble with email size as their server wouldn't allow my large files.

Any update on the installation of the OEM Forester oil cooler? I'm am very interested in this, but looking at the picture below makes me think we probably need to install the oil cooler prior to the KW kit to make things fit.

Waiting on cogged pulleys (eta this week), new flex fuel kit (eta this week), and then I want a week or two to make sure everything is working properly. Tomorrow I need to tear into the kit and do an inventory of all the parts to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I have the oil cooler installed already.

If you have the oil cooler installed already I think you should be able to make things fit. Please keep us updated and post photos when you get around to it. If it all goes well I may go in and take care of it when I try out the smaller pulley.

@post_break Do you have a KW kit? I saw that you were looking but missed that you pulled the trigger. LMK and I'll add you to the first post.

I did an inventory tonight. It appears I have everything except item #3. I have 6 black allen bolts, and 6 stainless bolts. They appear to be the same thread pitch, but the black bolts are a little longer. Must have been replacements when the kit shipped?

I had the same stainless bolts and they stripped out the crank adapter i had. The picture should them being used there and the replacements they sent me were black like the others. Not saying this will happen to you but heads up.

My cogged pulleys will be sent soon as well. I've also noticed the stainless steel bolts and talked with customer service and requested new black ones
