Picked up a Fuel Lab AFPR with dual -6 inlets and a single -6 outlet for the new fuel system coming soon.

Also working up some things for the new cooling system. It has been documented recently that the OEM radiator core (5/8" thick) is not sufficient for cooling the larger engine. Once more details are available I will share them, but for now...top secret shiat!

Rather than investing a bunch of time and money into the cooling system, why not just go with an aftermarket EVO radiator. Its extremely easy to fit and if you wanted slim fans you can get the mishimoto setup which includes dual 12" fans and an aluminum shroud. I think it would be more than sufficient for cooling that thing. Hell its about 50 degrees here now, I can let my car idle for 45 minutes and it wont get hot enough to open the thermostat. thats how good the core is on my koyo unit.

I am currently working with a couple outlets I have through my work on a direct drop in aluminum radiator, with a minimum 2" thick core. I have a third outlet direct with a manufacturer that I sent the drawings and measurements off to this week, just awaiting the mail back from them for individual and bulk pricing of the units.

I feel you. I just didnt think it was that much work to make it fit, literally it took me under an hour to get it right. It would be good though for someone to be able to sell a drop in radiator because not everyone has access to the tools and/or doesnt have the mechanical ability to make an evo one fit.

Just a small step towards another product for our platform that is not offered, one of a few that I have been working on to start bringing to the market once everything is settled down on my own build

Well yeah I wasnt aiming that lack of experience/skill/tools to you, but agreeing that what your doing can/will benefit others with less resources.
