RHD has no bearing on the installation of this kit. In addition, the fluid cooler is mounted back as far as possible to account for the foglights on some vehicles. The bumper has provisions for foglight installation which clear the cooler itself. Quote:
As we were developing this kit, we were planning on reserving the front grill opening for an intercooler. A side mounted cooler reduces the number of heat exchangers air has to pass through when a forced induction system is also installed. |

Is there any chance you can provide a kit that installs in front of the main radiator as was mentioned? I'd trust that a lot more to provide proper cooling. I'm not planning to go FI, ever. I'll probably going to get the jackson racing dual radiator, that's all You guys yourselves say in the 1st post that you have made modifications to the fog light cover and the fender behind to get the air moving. Going by the numbers you've posted, it is an almost necessary modification. I'm not particularly enthusiast about trying to replicate that, I don't have the parts & the chances of me effing it completely up is pretty big. Otherwise it all looks great. Sadly, at the moment, I simply do not trust that install location to do what I need it to do, properly.

I don't have AT, thus i'll never need it. But more then probably i'll need oil rad & brake cooling ducts, thus i guess i'll have similar fitment issues. As my GT86 is of top trim, as many other aftermarket cooling solutions vendors reuse intakes from fog lights, i know i certainly wouldn't want to remove those foglitghts to fit intakes, thus i'd be in most cases interested in fitment of rad/intakes behind main rad grill, and i don't get why so many vendors target mostly lower trims without fog lights in their designs instead of doing one that fits all the models. (Naive guess, that people choosing top trims might be more willing to pay for extra aftermarket parts, so it's unwise to not target them, when developing products). People are often willing to pay extra to extend existing functionality or capability or to gain some extra functionality .. not so much if it means loosing some in place/in exchange for new functionality/part.

Oh, wait, it's only september...dang. It's becoming summer here, so waiting about 2 months for a solution is a lot. Hm. Thanks for the offer, I'll think about my options here. Quote:
With cooling solutions it could be because most track cars will start off as the lowest trim version (and then just get even lower, LOL) to save weight & unnecessary cost.

Quick question on the plumbing side, I had my 86 on the hoist today and a quick look at the stock cooler/warmer and from my understanding of the connection diagram one radiator pipe connects into the cooler and the other connects to the case, but of course you know that.. But I'm trying to work out where the additional pipes will go through if installed on the right side as there doesn't appear to be a lot of room next to the exhaust system? |

Do any members have any long-term updates/reviews with this cooler installed?

I'm interested in running this trans cooler with the thermostat but I'm worried about over cooling. I'm located in San Diego and I track at hot tracks (90-100 degrees+). But I drive at 70 degrees sometimes 80-90 in the summer. I'm looking for an application that will work year around. Not looking forward to removing a trans cooler in the cooler months.

At those temperatures I feel like you shouldn't even have to worry about over cooling...

I mounted it in front of the wheel well , with a grate in the liner for air escape, tracked for about 5 years, some of it with boosted and built motor. Never had ANY overheating, and the tranny still auto rev matches, and shifts sharply, no matter how many heavy hot laps. A must have if you track seriously. |

https://www.ptuning.com/subdir/itemd...&ModelDesc=FRS The rest were basically aluminum tubes+bolts used as mounting hardware. And last but not least: I have ChargeSpeed bumber which is ideal for radiators mounting on the sides. Not sure it would work that perfectly with the stock bumper. |
