Like with most kits you probably don't have to but it would make it a ton easier.

I would also like to know more info about the possible group buy when the GTM guys work out all the details.

Us G guys are going to want to know if you plan on doing this for the AWD sedans too. lol

Kit looks great guys!

when is the press release? thought it was supposed to be this past Friday.

Lol, I think you're confusing this with the Fast Intentions kit

Well, here are a couple pictures to give you an idea where you can mount it. As you can see, there is room between the intercoolers and the condenser to mount the oil cooler. Otherwise, you could mount it in front of the intercooler instead. The is enough room between the vertical center support brace and the condenser to run the lines as well. Last, but not least, you can always get creative and do any number of things.

For example, we're doing a build right now using our GTM 70mm Competition Radiator with internal heat exchanger. It is being setup so that the engine oil runs through the heat exchanger inside the cold side of the radiator. Keep in mind, this may not be feasible for other aftermarket radiators on the market since their internal heat exchanger may not be rated for the higher pressure put out by the engine since internal heat exchangers are typically designed for transmission fluid which is run at much lower pressure. We designed our radiator's internal heat exchanger to handle the higher pressure for precisely this application.

Thanks for the reply. The RC brake ducts and hoses go right where the the bottom tubes on the inner coolers are.

BlkNismo is not confused at all. The quote below was taken from the first post in this thread, made by GTM on Monday, 11 March:

Over the next couple days, we will be sharing dyno results and we’re shooting to have a press release by the end of the week.

If you define the end of the week as Friday, then one could reasonably anticipate a 15 March press release. Since that hasn't happened, I'm guessing things probably just took longer than expected. Hopefully, we'll get an update from GTM soon.

Sadly that is the nature of the beast when dealing with GTM, they seem to always deliver but I don't think they have been on time once yet hahah.

would rather have them delivered a correctly engineered product than a rushed out one to meet a deadline they set...

Any update/guesses on release date?

We should have our press release within the next day or two and will be able to answer that question more definitively at that time.

Like our Garrett based twin turbo kit, you do not need to drop the engine for the installation. Some people prefer to do that although we do not do so on our in-house installations since the benefit of dropping the motor is small compared to the extra time required to pull the motor in the first place. Also, dropping the motor opens up more opportunities to mess up the installation for your average technician.

We will be releasing details on the group buy in our upcoming press release within the next day or two.

Thank you. As for the AWD turbo kit, we weren't really planning on adapting this kit to that car since it is a real beast to fit a turbo kit in the first place. It took a ton of effort to develop a turbo kit that works on the AWD setup since it is a completely different animal from the rear wheel drive cars. That said, we can certainly look into the feasibility of adapting the MHI setup into the AWD platform.

Hmmm. It seems that is going to be a challenge with pretty much any kind of forced induction kit. However, like most challenges, I'm confident that it can be overcome. I'd be curious to see how exactly they are routed.

Yes, we had hoped to have results and the final press release done by Friday since that was what we were shooting for. We were on track to have it all buttoned up by then, but unfortunately, the test car's owner didn't mention to us that his clutch was toast before he sent it over for testing and development. We did get a new OS Giken Twin Disk Clutch installed last Friday and the car is on the dyno as we speak. We should have the press release done today or tomorrow.
