Nice work. How much did this cost, and have you taken it for a ride yet?

Yeah I agree, spending money on a custom V-Mount setup and not upgrading the stock radiator to a koyo or something is kinda stupid IMO, sorry bud. It does look good and probably works fantastic, but come on you can't leave the stock radiator in there. Spend the extra $250 or whatever it is for an aftermarket!

Agreed. At least he doesn't also have the stock IC

Seriously, you are going to need some shields. On the sides and top of the IC, to keep air from following the path of least resistance and just going around the IC.

Looks good, but I agree should have gone with a better radiator.

Very nice, and I agree with the above, it would've been a good idea to have done the upgraded radiator at the same time, but, the SRM one should fit in the new location anyways. Good luck with the rest of the project, Josh

has anyone had any good/bad experiences with rs akimoto's flex tubing? I saw it and was thinking it would be decent enough in designing a custom fab system. Any feedback would be welcome.

I don't think so. I'm using the thicker one they have.

Someone here did a comparison (also check the thread on the koyo) I think if its bigger its honestly VERY small, I think clayne mentioned it.
