We need to get a check valve into your PCV line.

what aftermarket radiators/setups is everyone using? and is it track tested?

Stock radiator is fine for tracking. Aftermarket is a nice to have but not necessary. We have sufficient data for that.

Thanks for not posting the typical party line and trying to sell unnecessary products.

Congrats! This platform is meant to be enjoyed like that! Too bad it didn't come with this much fun from toyobaru...

Thanks Dave - besides the oil cooler, do you think there are any other parts that ARE necessary for tracking? such as a catch can?

A baffled catch can should be used if you're cornering while under boost. Also, keep a close eye on your oil level.

Does Crawford AOS work as well as a baffled catch can for cornering under boost?

The Crawford AOS is a catch can with a fancy name

Point taken . Hope it's also baffled...I believe I read that internals are little mystique...if you happen to know...

Hey Mike, I'm looking at going with an oil cooler that will work with either the JR or KW kit, which I won't be buying for a little while; but would rather buy a oil cooler that I don't have to change out when I go with either kit. I know the JR oil cooler kit is made specifically to work with the JR SC kit, but WILL it work without the SC kit? Is there something in the JR oil cooler kit that only allows it to work with the JR SC? I'm not worried about how it looks (offset mounting to make room for the Rotrex cooler).

I'd be more concerned about whether or not the JR oil cooler will fit with a KW kit. The KW kit has trouble with most oil coolers given the proximity of the gear train for the supercharger.

This. The enormous KW SC mounting bracket completely blocks the traditional Mocal type sandwich adapters and lines for oil coolers. KW has a specially designed adapter that brings the connections back behind all that. As far as I know there is no other way to run an oil cooler with the KW kit other than their proprietary Skunk2 adapter. Here is a pic of what I'm talking about. Not sure if it's thermostatic, I'm guessing it's not.

Yes, it will work as a stand-alone unit; please specify when you order and it'll come with a different bracket that centers the oil cooler

It is ultimately a universal oil cooler kit (albeit, a much higher capacity cooler than most on the market), that happens to work with the Jackson Racing supercharger. Both the supercharger and engine oil cooler kits were designed ground up to work independently OR together.

The Kraftwerks kit does not have any supporting brackets that will allow for an oil cooler to be mounted between the FMIC and AC Condenser. Additionally, their gear/pulley system makes putting the thermostatic Jackson Racing sandwich plate on... impossible.
