They have a calculator in there that will give you a ball park figure.
I would guess you will be in the 260-280whp range with proper cooling at 10psi.

Ehh I guess Ill go with a nitrous setup instead. Thanks for the information!
Regardless you will have higher IAT's even with the LHT cooler. After a few hard pulls you will feel a power loss from the heat soak. When i had my 285 WHP LHT setup running 12 psi i had noticed this, theres just no way around it. Yes the LHT manifold helps greatly but there will be some heat soak still.
One thing you might wanna check is to see if the fluid is flowing properly! if you don't get the air out the system the fluid will not flow cooling the manifold down properly. You should see the fluid flowing throughout the lines, i had clear lines so i could see the fluid flowing properly, when i would flush the fluid or do repairs i had to burp or bleed the air out or the fluid just sits still. Also if theres a kink in the water line it will stop the fluid from flowing properly. You can see my lines are easy to see into to check for the fluid flowing.
For those who having insufficiency flow and air bubble in your heat exchanger cooling system, look into my set up. I have zero heatsoak and air bubble issues with my set up:
Mercedes SL 500 pump, Ford 150 Lightning heat exchanger, Ford GT500 heat exchanger tank
You brought up an interesting point though... I had topped off my coolant in the LHT system before I had an issue running warm but what im noticing now is I need to top off, run the pump, and recheck level several times to fully eliminate air pockets. And I did that when first I installed it of course but the other day I heard the pump cavitating a little and found that it was low. Sooo its possible I messed up and went on the trip with an under performing LHT system which would exacerbate my cooling issue. I think what I need to do is get a expansion tank. I guess a Mustang GT500 tank is a good option. But I do agree that I need a more efficient radiator.
I went with the stealth look so I have no idea whats going on in my LHT system. Good plan huh?

Taking a break from working on my install. Im putting a JRSC in my crx with a sohc ZC. Have a DC header, and Injen short ram intake with it. Install an Odyssey PC680 battery with the Password JDM mount kit. This allowed me to not have to cut the intake, I rotated it and its install with the filter behind the bumper similar to a CAI. Will also be installing DSM 450cc injectors, AEM fuel rail with AEM universal FPR. Im staying obd0 and will be tuning with turbo edit. Still going to be running the stock exhaust for now. I want one that looks factory and isn't loud like a fart can. Debating on picking up a HKS for a civic and cutting it down.
Do you have any pics? What diameter is the Injen short ram intake tube?
Just got my JRSC on my D15B7. I have the FMU & Map Controller in right now. I just got a p28 ECU, chip kit, chip, and am waiting on the programmer. Then I will be running Crome. Everything is stock. I purchased an AEM Short Ram but with the S-Tube, it wouldn't fit. I am debating on cutting it or selling it and getting a different tube. I just have the filter mounted on the TB. Is that alright for now? Haven't gotten to drive it yet, it starts but I need a belt first. The one I got with the kit was missing part of a rib. The thtottle cable wouldn't bolt up without pulling the throttle some. Is it possible to rig it up without getting a longer cable?
Manual Steering - Removed A/C
Once I get the ECU in, I have an AEM fuel rail and deutschwerkz 550cc injectors. I want to run E85 at some point. I also have the upgraded Crankshaft Pulley from Jackson Racing but I don't have it installed yet. Someone said I would need to get it balanced for it first (not sure if that is true).

I've had heat issues with my lht setup on my gsr as well. I have a feeling it has to do with airflow over the radiator. I have a heat exchanger in front + a/c condenser + 2 core go-autoworks radiator and (2) 850 cfm fans on the rad.
Usually heats up when idling or low speed. I installed the new radiator in hopes it would fix the problem, but to no avail.

Do you have a shroud for your fans on your radiator?

I'm having the same issue. I have a 03-04 cobra heat exchanger, + AC Condensor + Custom 3 Core Copper 1/2 Radiator. Forgot which fan I'm running and no shrouds.

Add a shroud and see if the problem still occurs. What I think is happening is the airflow is being blocked by the exchanger. At low speed and idle the fans without a shroud are having problems pulling or pushing the air through the the radiator since the shrouds help funnel the air pass the cores. When you are moving at a reasonable speed the air is forced through the radiator. The air is moving faster then the fans could move it on there own.

I am not currently running a shroud on my (full-sized) radiator. The clearance is already minimal on the a/c fan between the header and radiator, so I was thinking about doing a custom single shroud on the other side.
I was also having the same issue with the stock radiator and stock fan's w/shroud. I'm running the go-autoworks 850cmf slim fans, but I think I might upgrade to a spal/fal fan with a proper shroud to deal with the problem.
The most current problem I ran into this morning was the spark plug(s) went bad again. E85 is brutal on plugs. So far I replace them about twice a year or every 1000 miles or so.

I'm going to try that next, however, I don't think it'll help? If I run the ac on the freeway, even out of boost, it'll start to overheat after about a half an hour or so. Before the supercharger I could run the ac for hours. Maybe ac just wont work...
Been out of the charger game for a while. Sold my set up I was working on with grim after he passed. Found my original after cooler and pump set up from LHT if anyone is interested. Need to get rid of it so don't have impulse to build up stock charger I am looking at. Plan on staying low boost.
My setup made 285 WHP @12 psi using also a SK2 70mm t.b and comptech ice box intake system! what a blast it was to drive! my favorite momment was when i was in a uphill tug match against a mean EVO and i dominated him the whole race it was so awesome!
