I know you guys thought about this before, but seriously the car is in need of a serious oil cooler, as the piston sprayers are saturating the pistons in HOT oil, this is not helping the ecu add more timing to the ignition, not to mention the cylinders are only coated in a very thin hard carbide type material, once that goes away it's steel rings on alluminum cylinders. without a proper oil cooler you guys might have longevity issues and maybe some unhappy customers.

Our TVT300 kit includes 2 important pieces that we are trying to replenish before the kit is released. One is the 74mm TB and the other is the dual exhaust. We are collecting as many TBs as possible so that when our kit is released we can actually sell it.

Believe me I want this on sale as much as you guys do, probably more because we have a lot of money invested in R&D.

I promise that there will be many improvements both in part throttle and WOT driving experiences with this package. We just finished up a TVT265 for a local customer and it feels like a 4 cylinder camry compared to our TVT300 car, not that the 265 is slow or anything.

You do realize we've had an oil cooler available for over a year for these cars right?

Not everything we offer is on the website. We introduced the oil cooler a while ago and received very little response. We decided to not put it into production, but leave it as an install available item.

apparantly your not advertising it very well....maybe it's time for a step by step install thread so we customer's can see what's available, otherwise get moderators to post a sticky so it doesn't get burried.

It might help if you posted some data logged oil temperature graphs showing comparisons vs stock. It's called sales managment, unfortunatly it get's very expensive and time consuming. I was hopeing you guys where gonna machine a nice billet oilfiter cap that had ports built in.

The customer base just isn't there for a lot of R&D. A lot of people want to see that it is available, but very few if any will purchase it.

The oil cooler is something we did for our track car and really had no intentions of marketing it, thus the lack of marketing. If someone wanted the install we could show them what it was and better estimate a cost.

As for parts we don't advertise, there are a lot. We do a lot of one-off type of work and don't market the finished product. If a customer called for something sepcific that they wanted to we could fab up a kit for them. However, given the size of the community it is not cost effective to really keep anything on the shelf.

You have a finished and running turbo XF? or are you in the process of trying to get it going??

I would have no problem getting the physical part done, but that damn ECU. Have you gotten around this or still in early developement??

Thanks.

LET does the tuning for me. Instead of allowing the ECU to adapt to the added boost it runs like the boost came stock on the car. larger injectors will be need. Are the injectors the same on the SRT-6? the guys at LET have converted an SRT-6 to turbo and are running 450hp on the injectors.
