Just came back from a test drive from my fresh install and noticed that the Outside Temp gauge on the dash is way off. But when I read the ambient air temp via the OBD2, it is definitely more in line with the actual temperature. I did have to relocate a temp sensor from the front of the radiator and zip tie it to the side per the JRSC oil cooler install. What is causing the two different temperatures? Is there a second temp sensor that I might have messed up during the install?

I am told it needs to be out in the open in the moving air to be correct. That was the only thing I thought they missed on this kit. They should have included a bracket to move the sensor and a harness extension for it. This is only a BRZ issue, FRS's don't have the outside temp sensor. It does not affect anything to do with the engine, it is only for the dash readout. Pat |

That makes sense. The air temp sensor used to sit in front of the radiator open to air when we're driving. Now it is being blocked by the intercooler and engine oil cooler. Lots of warmer air radiating from that area now!

So for those of you who track your SC 86 quite a lot (thinking track days here), do you feel that stock brakes + upgraded pads are sufficient, or are AP Racing Brakes a must?

And if you plan on FI later on, do not get a kit like the perrin 13 row series 6 oil cooler. It is way way too small for track duty in non-winter months with FI. I currently run a 25 row series 9. The JROC is a good kit for track. I have seen it sufficient up to 280ish whp. Maybe CSG can chime in on if it is sufficient at 350+ whp.

Don't get me wrong, the AP kit is fantastic. But if your primary concern is reliable stopping, I wouldn't consider it mandatory. Also, if you spend a lot of time on a track, it may make economic sense to get the AP kit. |

Thanks everyone - I have the JR oil cooler, and will be getting it installed in a couple of weeks. Brake ducting does seem like a wise investment. On my last Subie I had 6 pot Alcon brakes that we're fabulous, so the pedal effort needed on the 86 is kinda new to me (the Alcons felt telepathic).
Are there key differences between the APR and TF brake duct kits I should be aware of? DJ |
