Depends on the kit really as courage pointed out some kits (no names need be said) tend to crack / melt stuff / etc.


As a general requirement, a larger radiator and a properly mounted external oil cooler WILL be needed. A vented hood would also be a good idea along with other more nit picky things. I'd say more then anything, just using your brain on what you need should be the best advice out there.

They teach us in engineering school. Sit down and think about the problem at hand.

What is the problem?
How does it happen?
How can it be prevented?
etc.

Most importantly, THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

 

Well wut would i need extra to make the IP kit dead reliable..... Also i have heard that external oil coolers arnt always a good idea because if a line fails your screwed... is that true?

 

I basically answered your question in my post above so I don't want to retype what I just said.


Sure if an oil cooler line fails your screwed, the same would happen if the oil feed line for a supercharger failed as well. Get a quality cooler with good reviews (don't ask me, google search that) and go with it. Make sure you install all the lines with a good silicone sealant to help prevent leaks and vibrations that could loosen the lines.

 

ok thx!

 

My car could beat a stock comptech kit even if I shifted at 6k...

Area under the curve...

And it's only going to get worse as I boost higher this spring.
