Yes... yes it is. I got to design it to give us the most cross sectional area for heat dissipation and with triple pass. Fluid stays in longer and with the pump it will perform like no other! They asked me to design it to run on multiple platforms and they are going to use it as an upgrade for the new VR30 platform meaning there will be a plug and play application for the Q and new Nissan Z.

I designed it to be one seamless unit. I wanted a user to be able to easily service and install with minimal hardware. They should have mock up pictures this week

So after sitting here over the last two days reading 48 pages there seems to be more concern about the hood than anything else. People have to understand that when innovation comes around, things change. Compromises have to be made in order to ensure success of the product. Not meaning compromise of the product itself but of the initially designed product (the car) that wasn't built to take every single thing into account.

Also some people have to understand that not everyone here follows the popular kids on this forum. I've been part of this forum since 2010 and I still know only a handful of the big players here. If you're not directly linked to the vendor who is designing said product and someone questions who you are and asks to provide proof of expertise in the field, it would be wise to do so (something in the "about me" section of your profile) as it turns out said expert is helping in design and sales pitching. Reacting the way he did just potentially killed a $10,000+ sale, maybe more as other people could see it and think negatively on his association as well.

From what little I can see (thanks photo bucket) it sounds to be a promising endeavor by this company. Scrolling through what I can see in face book (no account), I'm not seeing much there either. I think an update on the project (lots of pictures) will solidify the reality of this project, put them on the first post of this thread as well to increase interest for people who are just now reading about it and can get a better picture in their head as they're reading through this book.

Lastly, some years ago I inquired about a positive displacement SC possibility for the 370Z on this forum and I was met with nearly 100% opposition that it would be impossible due to the VVEL system. Which made no sense to me at all because there are plenty of other PDSC vehicles with variable timing that are out on the road. Where is this opposition now? I don't recall one single post on this thread saying anything remotely close to what I received.

There have been a good amount of pictures and the ones i've seen, seem to work just fine. I think they have been plenty good with keeping the community informed and updated i know they were close with the z days in May and had to push it back to make sure this kit is 100%. Me personally I would rather them take their time and deliver a solid product just as FI has. They had to squeeze every drop of space out of this kit and if the hood is the only downside for a change because of this, im sure people will be understanding. Just have a little faith in them. they make kick *** products and im sure will deliver on this as well, great things come to those who wait

The hood mockups I've seen don't seem to take into account that the clearance problem of the Whipple s/c (as I understand it) is mostly in the front section of the hood -- not the topside so much or the back of the hood. Repositioning (or eliminating entirely) the cross-support bar will be an issue as well.

I think a lot of folks are following this thread just out of academic interest to see where it goes, and what it does on a dyno, but as far as making all the concessions necessary to actually make it fit their own car, very few will bite if the hood can't accommodate it tastefully.

Just my two cents...
