New viewer here. Seen all the sky videos. Awesome quality videos! Attention to detail is great. I’m looking at a 08 sky redline 55k miles with bolt ons and meth injection ~ 318whp claimed. For $11,700 Opinions?? What’s common problems with these cars.
I missed the opinions question ... water pumps fail and I think this is a heat soak issue and they run warm unless you upgrade the radiator. There are some engineering issues with drive train lash (clunk) issues that can be annoying but are normal. With the extra HP it can cause stress on the transmission mount unless you upgrade the engine mounts. Other than that they are a fun street legal go cart.
BULLI KID I am “told” about 400-420 hp at the crank ... I am not certain but I believe ONLY the early 2006 cars have the forged internals. Later engines do not. If you want to go much more than that buy one that needs a motor for cheap and drop an LSA or an LS7 in one ... 😎
BULLI KID BTW ... the run warm issue is related to a cooling system bleed/purge process not many people know about or do correctly. If done correctly the system works fine.
Thanks ... so far the updates are going to be ... DDM Brace bundle, big Wheel Turbo with the compatible tune , charge Tubes, solid motor mounts, empty down pipe, Magna Flow exhaust, larger Intercooler and suspension upgrades as I get the car running. I need it to be “stock appearing” as I live in CA and need to sneak it by emissions.

I think this is a first. At least for me. Socks in the garage lol! Nice install, thanks for the video.
Well … it is an extension of my living room
I love your channel and your dedication to helping us fellow Kappa owners. Great work!
Thank you sir!

Thank you !!
Great to see another video! keep it up!
I appreciate the encouragement ... my Day job has been a little demanding lately but it looks like I will have more time in the weeks to come.
Awesome work!! Thanks for the video!
Thank you Terry!
What's the part number on radiator period I can't find it.
The radiator is a Howe unit ordered through DDM Werks Racing
I just bought one of these... They still do not know how to pack properly.
Why not use spacers to mount the radiator?
There is VERY little extra room and as it is there is only 1/4 inch to the front rail Venom Brace
Was interested in this mod. Do you have the part# for that radiator or how to find it? Great video
DDM I believe stocks the Howe Radiator and you can order for a manual or with an automatic transmission cooler built in.
I did get Howe's radiator and fan and LOVE it.
How much its price and where did you get it am in uae i have manual car starun sky 2007 radiator damage
Why the front bumper off the car. Is that part of removing the radiator?
It is a LOT easier to change the Intercooler with the bumper removed

That sounds like a decent value ... I would inspect carefully and if it is in great shape I would snap it up !

Tim Ronak thanks for the input. How much HP can these motors hold before blowing. Are the internals forged?

another great video, what other mods are you planning for the car?
