I think its an excellent product. We considered it when we were originally assembling our oil cooler kit, however it does require some extra steps that the current oil cooler kits do not require and additional cost. We wanted our kit to be competitive with the current oil cooler kits from GTM, Nissan Motorsports and Stillen and this would have put us well out of their price range.

The additional cost comes from the fact that you have alot more components in the kit. Instead of 2 pre-cut lines with 4 fittings. You now have 4 lines and 8 fittings. The line cost really is not that much, but there could be an additional $80 ~ $100 cost just in fittings by doubling the number fittings. You also have to figure out a secure mounting location for thermostat soemwhere on chassis. Check out the previous issues of Modified Magazine, they did an install with a similar remote mount thermostat with a Accusump Accumulator on their S2000 Time Attack Project. They actually installed their remote mount thermostate on the front aluminum crash bar.

The benefit of the Remote Setup is that it will do a TRUE bypass, unlike the Sandwich Plate adapter style which is mostly a partial bypass.

It is definitly a doable project. Let me know, I would be interested in experimenting with the setup and building one for a customer if interested.
