alexideways Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Nice, I like the v mount. You have any pics of the front body work?? Curious to see what a Z looks like with a V mount intake and output... Looking good, keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would definitely win any contest for shortest IC pipe. hahahaha, Im a little worried i might tear the throttle body hose if i put too much pressure on it, i think Im going to get one of the engine damper kits just to be on the safe side.

Sideways Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Awesome but that V moutn makes the intercool look a little non functional? Like the air would only go across one surface, and not actually through the ic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Very Nice....I like it! Any more pics to share? Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the air would only go across one surface, and not actually through the ic? thanks, well what im doing is blocking off the sides of the intercooler and radiator and cutting a vent in the hood so that the air flows through the front and hits the intercooler and radiator and i believe( i could be wrong) that when the vents are cut into the hood it will create a vacuum that will help suck the air through the intercooler. this link show the type of vent im going to try to make, but more suited and porportional for an s30 Z http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-98-Nissan-240SX-Carbon-Fiber-M-1-Sport-Hood-Body-Kit_W0QQitemZ200199804682QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200199804682 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right - If placed correctly, the vent will be in a low pressure zone, and therefore allow a good stream of air to flow through your heat exchangers.
