Did you have the KW's Dyno tested?

+45 fronts are on spacers as we test different front track widths
(we can go up to 50mm wider on the front track

kws no dyno but knew they needed some "tweeking" so went with my gut feeling and they seam to work pretty well...

That doesn't look 3" lower?

Here is a pic of my car with the 245/40/17 at 2 1/4" lower than stock.

Can you give us any more info on those brakes?

Yeah the tires were 245/35/17 for a rolling diameter that is 1.25" shortet than stock (and showing a bigger fender gap too)

Well finallized weights
fronts are 22 lbs lighter than the stock fronts
Ebrake delete (EVERYTHING) yields 18 lbs less
rear Kit saves 20 lbs
Total weight reduction is SIXTY POUNDS OF UNSPRUNG WEIGHT!
50+ of it rotating mass too.
Testing for durability now.

Going for 2450 with the next round of modifications.

Robi

What is this Nascar core you speak of? Where did you get it?

Captain Insano · 02-04-2013, 09:40 AM

Please start selling all this stuff... Along with DIY videos of the things like the ebrake tear out!! Lovin this stuff.

Captain Insano · 02-04-2013, 09:42 AM

Also, are you going to be releasing a hood with the louvers? I think you should, think it would be a good seller for track cars.

Is it a PWR or Denso core?

Nice build!

I like where you're going with this. Lightweight and track worthy, make up for some of that hp the car doesn't have.

Curious on your radiator & oil cooler setup, is that one unit? I was looking at aftermarket rads and the cooler is $$$. More info on yours pls.

SO here are some picts and info on our SUPER HEAVY DUTY COOLING UPGRADE
we are ready to go to market with these this week.
At Robispec we are fans of extra credit work and so we went to an "overkill cooling solution" stock radiator is 15mm core we replace this with 2 25mm tube core add a liquid to liquid oil cooler in the "cold side tank" and have less than 2 feet of total lines to complete the whole "kit".
The best thing about this is that you dont need to thermostaticly control the oil temp (a big potential problem with the Air to liquid cooler solutions) as the water thermostat does this for you and actually heats the oil faster during warm up then stabilizes it to run about 20-30 degrees hotter than the water temp. this is better in many ways than the current kits on the market.
1. lighter overall
2. short hose runs,minimal resistance to flow = no extra strain on the stock oil pump
3. "fixes" the Water cooling issues sure to develop with the stock radiator.
4. Uses existing cooling airflow and leaves fender locations for brake ducting
5. With low profile fans ADDS space in front of the engine for turbo/SC piping

Picts in the car

here are the cores for comparison. BIG PROBLEM and no oil cooler included with the car either.
Even the A/C condensed is thicker than the Stock radiator!(3/4" vs 5/8 ")

here is the BEST solution...to the above problem

can use stock A/C with this.
NO cutting plastec to mount
Cold air over the top as needed
STOCK mounting points used
OVER TRIPLE THE COOLING CAPACITY and an extra Qt of engine oil.
takes 2 hours to install
total system cost Radiator oilcooler takeoff plates hoses, an fittings, fans
EVERYTHING INCLUDED for John Q Public to install $1,195.00

Look for the group buy to save money on the first ten of these.
