Cannot recommend this as it started leaking after 8 months

Awesome radiator definitely interested. However, DAT INNOVATE DOE!

Nice to know it handles traffic too.

Thanks for posting, I like that cooling design.

wparsons · 06-23-2013, 05:21 PM

Very nice! The price looks reasonable for what's included too.

This is for sure one of the best mod for the twins and 99% of the peeps dont realize it and all they care about is CAI, header, exhaust, and ECU tune... So sad

Anyone who's running the Touge Factory brake cooling ducts needs to beware that the hoses probably wont fit around this radiator/cooler. I think it's wider than stock overall and on the driver's side the oil lines/fittings look like they will be right in the way of where the brake cooling hoses go. It's already an extremely tight fit around the stock radiator.

It's a great solution otherwise. I'd just hate to give up my brake cooling. I guess coolant/oil temp control is more important in comparison to brake temps if you're going FI.

Just ordered one of these alongside an Innovate Twin Screw from Robi. I'm amazed how well it hides away. I'm not trying to keep the engine bay looking stock, but it's going to be hard to point out what I've done with the car to the uninitiated.

OrbitalEllipses · 06-24-2013, 06:51 PM

Wonder if it'll fit with a Nameless header...

Draco-REX · 06-24-2013, 06:52 PM

Oh, and honestly, have you seen a more elegant oil cooler solution? Love it. KISS principle in full effect.

He says the AVO turbo kit will still work, I can't see the Nameless or P&L being any further forward.

Erf.. Well, I have a little while to make a decision. Everything goes on first before the SC. I may end up wth the P&L header..
