The oil cooler is not branded but pretty much solid. The problem is it won't fit on the KW kit because the oil filter host hit the bracket, so the shop who installed myt kw kit relocate the oil filter position near the rotrex. (It is circle in the photo)
Brothers do you think it will affect on how the oil filter works? Considering it has more distance from the engine. Do you think it will affect the pressure pushing the oil in the engine? How about the position of my Greddy oil catch can? I think KW guys should answer this, considering their kit might be accuse of the cause, if i will have engine failure in the future.
Thanks in advance,
and more power KW

Can you download the photo from that site and upload onto the ft86 forums? The photo isn't showing up. I'd like to see how the filter relocation looks.

Definitely sounds like they have some type of announcement in the works, but they also told me the same thing ("announcement next week") almost 3 weeks ago. Hopefully it is good news. I can wait a bit longer...

Ignore my request... I can see it fine over my phone. My company probably has some type of firewall blocking that site from my laptop.

Also, how tight is your belt? I know that I had mine way too tight when I first installed which seemed to affect the whine level, especially at idle.

FirestormFRS · 04-11-2015, 10:16 AM

Belt tension..if it whines at idle it's too tight, if it slaps at idle it's too loose. Get the carbon drive app and use it. I still had mine a bit tight @60hz reading but a 1/4 turn loose and it's spot on now.

What is your belt frequency?

Anyone have any issues with the intercooler pipe rattling? Mine doesn't touch anything anywhere, however at engine start and at certain rpm just above idle I can hear it rattle. Anything above 2000rpm is fine..
