It comes with a temp sensor that mounts to the small coolant hose between the thermostat and over flow bottle (near the battery), wired to two relays that replace your oem fan relays.
The part I like the most is the ecu still has full control of the fans. So fans still come on with the a/c or any other reason the ecu might want them on before 190*f.
Real easy to install too, took maybe 10mins. Paid about $100 for it in his eBay store.

i bought this and my fans stay on while driving and temps are 158 F (30- 40 mph). while parked they come on at 176 F and go off at 158 F. i think thats a little to much. whats your thoughts?? did i get a sour kit?? 158 F is too cool and i dont like my fans running constantly.
Did you use the coolant hose that goes by the battery box?

Let me know how that goes if you don't mind.
When I bought this kit I didn't do much research on it and it turns out "MindsEyeEngineering" is really a guy named Scott that owned another company that ripped off some forum members here. When I delt with them I had no problems though.

I was wondering what your reasoning is on raising the OMP rate, I dont see the connection between coolant temps and lubrication of the apex seals

Better Apex Seal lubrication will lower friction, therefore heat...therefore coolant temps.
I believe it is a logical conclusion, however why not do both.

for the omp adjustment--that is true. You have to have something that will access the pcm software.
For the fans you can buy a separate fan controller and install it. You dont need to access the software in the pcm to do it that way. Or you can do it through the pcm with the same tool you do the omp adjustments. Things do get a bit complicated for me in using the software. Others can do it without a blink of the eye.

The kit I used in this thread worked great, in fact I will be selling it as soon as I finish removing it from my car (need to fix/replace hose first.). It's actually a new kit I just got too, I broke the original one when changing my hoses out to silicone 2 months ago.
I just wish I could understand ATR a little better.. I don't like making changes without being 100% sure of what I'm doing. There is a lot of info on this site about it. But getting threw the countless pages of arguing/BS is taking a lot of time.

and I know how you feel with the bs... people come on here and flame without putting in any useful info and it makes you have to sort through 10 pages of crap to find the one post with any useful info

If you want to increase OMP injection without buying an Accessport, there is the vacuum hose that gives the OMP vacuum. The series 2 tube has two holes compared to the series 1 having 3, or maybe its the other way around. Either way, you can get more injection. Not exactly sure how much though.

None of your recommendations work on a Series II with the two EMOP units, plus the 6 Oil Injectors ( 3 on each Rotor Housings) are also different to S1 and do not have any vacuum/barometric tubes attached to them...All the S2 Oil Injectors have a single oil feed line to each with no one way check valve in Injectors or lines like S1.
So far I know of no ECU (PCM) override for S2 EMOP System to increase rates.
