It's a PWR. I'm not sure if they sell the IC separate, I know the standard radiator they make is different from the one I have. The V-Mount kit is produced solely for the shop I bought it from in the UK.

This thing is WICKED! 18psi and only seeing 11c intake temps (ambient is 4-5) with about 1.2psi pressure loss..

looks nice
Thank you =)

Thanks. I am thinking about Ceramic coating the UIM for a little more show, and replacing the intake plastic hose with a polished straight pipe. Probably won't improve flow much, but the show will be better.

Oh and i need a nice Sway bar too.

Contrary to what others may have said about your wiring project; I think it's fantastic! I love how clean and open the bay is. Very nice work.

Yes, I have an RE Amemiya vented hood and the temps are COLD! While driving on the freeway, it got down to 81C for water and 11C for air intake!

Yea, that's the only piece I need so I can polish it along with the alternator.

Intercooler set up looks great. Is there a better/cleaner spot to mount the AST, though?

Yea, I still have to figure that out as most people eliminate the AST when going vmount.
