But.. I have honestly never seen a need for an aftermarket radiator, for street use, on any of my vehicles. I had a twin charged 350z making extreme under hood temps with the top mount supercharger and the top mount turbo along with not 1 but 2 intercoolers plugging the air flow. I can honestly say that I never seen my temp rise at all. Now if you are going to be doing autocross or time attacks thats a different situation.

Oil did rise. I have a Defi oil temp.

Ok. I'm seeing 200-220 degree water temps as normal on stock Zs. That's higher than I'd like to see even before you stick an intercooler in front of the radiator.

Agreed. I paid way less than that and I have a TT kit which required the motor to be dropped.

I should note that I'm not just blasting the shop either, I mentioned to him that this was much higher than I expected so I wouldn't be able to pursue my dream just yet.

Absolutely. For $7k they should be supplying the remainder of your required mods and handle the install. |

If you can change your oil and spark plugs. You can install this yourself. It couldnt be easier with the giant colored picture book it comes with. Well i guess it could be a pop up book.
If you have any mechanical abilities at all just dont even worry about paying a shop to do it. Not only will you be able to troubleshoot any issues and/or uninstall it if you ever sell your car, but you can take pride you did it yourself and built your own car. You will be charged another $1200 for uninstall some day. And if you have emmisions tests you will be taking most of the kit off in 2 years.

But seriously, if you can change your oil and your spark plugs, you can install this with basic tools. Grab a buddy who is more mechanically inclined if need be and knock this out. You will learn about the components and the car which is a good thing just in case you have any issues later. You will then have an understanding of the system and could possibly avoid a costly trip to a shop.

That's the other issue.. Here in Indiana i can't seem to find a tuner close so even after install I'll have to rely on the supplied map until I can get time to trailer it to a tuner. I change my oil, plugs, brakes, my G3s and anything else really. I suppose my biggest fear is the subtle issues with oil lines and such that worry me. Sounds like I shluld just pony up and do it, I guess it looks like a few of you would totally be around to help if I have questions!
