sorry for the delay in the pics, folks. Been a very busy week. Anyway, here are some of the pics of the completed fab work. =)

We've just finished the fuel upgrades and we're installing the new OS Giken Twin Plate and prepping her for the dyno!

lol I was just about to post these!
and he also forgot to mention the install of the S&R Custom Oil Cooler!

Marti, any reason for keeping the dual TB setup? I'm concerned by the intake piping running over the hot side.

Also, is it just me or is the cold side piping not on, and in need of changing before it will fit? Could just be the fact that I'm on a phone....

I noticed the same thing... after dealing my the extreme temps of my downpipe, that would worry me. It looks like that coupler might be a little too close for comfort as well.

I have a feeling S&R will deal with this... they have some time to perfect it yet...
I don't seem them being shady like other companies we know ryan

I highly doubt they are going to make some drastic changes to the routing.

You are going to get some funky IAT inconsistencies with the piping run by the hot side, even with a blanket.

I never said S&R is shady. The G37 looks to have the same exact routing. I spoke with the owner on the phone for quite some time and he said he didn't have any problems at that time.

I know, i was more or less just makin a digg on another douchey company we know

As others mentioned, that silicon coupler is sitting really close to the hotside. I don't think that setup will last. And I wouldn't want my charge pipe going to the passenger TB getting superheated by the downpipe either. I hope it all works out for you, but I would ask some questions before taking delivery.

Isamu · 05-22-2012, 02:09 AM

questions have been asked. and answers will be delivered
