Very nice install:-). I have a question about your cooling system, are you running an electric fan setup? Or did you remove the shroud while still using the exsisting clutch fan. And lastly did you paint your Cusco camber plates or was that engine shot taken before you installed them? Either way bro I think your ride is hella nice, hope to see you on the sidwayz.

Clutch fan, no electric fan, no shroud :)

Same setup as me for the time being. In the very near future I'll be running with a koyo rad, dual electric fans, and that's it. No shroud, no clutch fan.

clutch fan and shord are the ONLY way to go. i know of tons of people who swear by them. i actually had a friend of mine use the koyo and 2 flex a lite fans and overheated after a good hard drive. now he has the stock fan and shord and hasnt overheated yet.

i HIGHLY recommend you do not switch. plus taking them away does you NO good at all. i have never overheated my car and ive driven the thing at track day(20 min of hard driving)

Well, a car i helped build and tune back east is running a similar setup to what I'm going to do (koyo, dual e-fans, no shroud) and was fine for nearly 4 hours of track time last summer. My friend and I were co-driving, so the car basically got 40 mins of beating followed by 20 minutes of rest for an entire day.

No cooling problems what-so-ever. A good portion of it has to do with running a higher pressure rad. cap, a good coolant (evans, etc...), proper coolant/water mixture, and proper amount of redline water wetter (which I swear by)
