looking good.

As for the intake mount, i say go with something a little different and do it on the side like a cold air mount.

Love the hydro, almost ordered that one. Interested in seeing how you mount it. You keep the same brake line from the old setup? U using SS lines for the hyrdo?

U plan on using the OEM gauge cluster or u going custom?

Dude (OP) read the whole thread, well your parts anyway.
Gosh I am awestruck. I want to mod, build, and wrench so bad...
fantastic, amazing, and what wonderful attention to detail.

This thread is very motivational for me. I have no money to do anything cool but
that is cause I need a job. This helps me remember what I am working towards.

Default DPE-Wheels?

Hey Edafe/Royal_T,

So I am not in the market for wheels, I need more mission critical hardware
right now, but I do need some new rubber. Maybe for this winter, for sure
next summer. I am guessing that DPE-Wheels does not sell tires as I did not
see any on the website but I wanted to ask and make sure. I figure I'd rather
know where my money goes than spend it at a faceless corporation.

Thanks bro, I think I might do it to the side cause some people have seen big temp changes by running it to the side.

As for the Hydro, I plan to mount it on the side, nothing like my last one.. Reason I could not run it clean like the CNC is cause the ASD unit is setup a little different. Wont fit. I also will be running all new lines.

Now for the cluster I am still undecided about it.. Might go with a Stack or might just get some gauges but I will know very soon what I will do..

Well sorry to say we don't sell tires. But if you need wheels let me know.

yea i would think the ASD is a little bigger and wont fit where u had the CNC. When i was test fitting my ISIS hydro, between the bucket seat and console seemed to be a good fit.

As for the cluster i vote for tach gauge, temp gauge and another gauge where the OEM cluster is and have Carbon fiber backing.

I think a Y pipe cold air intake would look cool. Have a Y pipe come out and have each pipe go down the sides like a cold air intake.

Kind of like this, but with longer pipes

Unless you run a custom kit, or possibly a Hinson kit, you will not have the proper clearance necessary to run a setup like that. Quamen is the exception, there is ~4.5" from the front of the throttle body to the radiator. I may be the only one with a full 4" intake all the way to the filter, it is VERY tight (like a good wife or girlfriend ).

Please reference my thread for pics of the intake to see how tight it is.

Bebo's pic is not of a 350 or G35 either, its not the same clearance. I thought exactly the same thing when I saw Quamen's car... I WANT THAT... only to realise that he has a special setup and the SIKKY kit doesn't sit as far back or quite as low.

My radiator mount is also custom as is royal t's. Our cars have significantly more clearance than the standard sikky kit.

My sikky kit with a koyo 52mm radiator has less than an inch from the water pump to the rad. Its tighter than a freshman on prom night

^Thats what I was thinking, it looks like royal has more space since the radiator support has been removed(could just be the picture). Not sure if you were planning to use the cut outs from the front bumper, but you could put the filters down in that area to get more air. Sort of like a cold/ram air intake.
