Its not just about efficiency, the coolant helps keep things from growing in your system, and it also helps the metal in the system from getting mineral deposits etc. You don't need to run much anti-freeze with the water to get these benefits. Anti freeze also boils at a higher temp than straight water.

Very true - maybe i should run like 15% antifreeze in mine - although i plan on adding ice to the resevoir when at the track and what not so itll be getting drained from time to time to let off the excess water

******The Update******

The parts arrived packaged neatly only three days after ordering....

The VBand Clamps/Vband - Solid, Excellent Quality

The Cat Delete - Very Nice Welds, Dynamicly Smooth Test Pipe

2.5" BOV T Pipe for TurboXS Type H: Excellent, My Type H fit perfect

Type 20 LongFlow Water to Air Intercooler w/Adapters - Welds look much better than I expected, Low Pressure Leak Test revealed no leaks

Bousch Water Pump (Cobra) - Have not yet tested, yet arrived with Universal Harness

Raditor (Heat Exchanger) - All fins are intact, inlet/outlet adapters look slightly stripped

Fan

JUST FOR FUN: My TURBO
t3/t4 Turbocharger (Garrett 63 Trim w/ Stainless Steel Braided Oil Lines
Powder Coated Turbine Housing

Further Updates in the Future. Let me know what you all think! I will be conducting high pressure testing, leakdown testing, as well as further testing in the future . Just thought I would post this now...

The heat exchanger is 2" thick without the fan. The fan is 2.5" thick at center. I think we have enough room...I still have the condenser, radiator, and now the heat exhanger!

Yes I still have the crash bar. The heat exchanger and the fan will still fit. I am however, trying explore mounting options...

pics?

I am using a 95 civic radiator in my setup .. I had condenser and crash bar already removed but I doubt it would have fit

but my fittings come out towards the back of the rad not up like your rad

I have not yet done the install, just merely recieved the parts. A 95 Civic Radiator is much larger than the one that I am using. Fitment is much easier since my heat exchanger is 10X13.

how's the quality of the fan? Have you hooked it up? I'm wondering how loud it is. Also are you gonna be using a temperature switch with the fan?

I haven't hooked anything up yet officially, and will attempt a mock install this upcoming weekend...will let you know about the fan. I am not sure yet about the temperature switch...looking into some other options!
