Why not been running this with greddy twins. This is also not the same as the pathfinder mod. This gets rid of the lines that go to the throttle body, the cross over and

Bruce, looks good I see a couple useless brackets and couple little things that we can do to clean it up some more....

Paul on my tt setup it yielded al most 10 degs cooler, also now ambient intake temps must be down as the throttle body is no longer heated, it also cleans the motor up very nice. Pm me if you have any questions.

Performance in reduced temperature. As Danny noted, he's seeing a decrease in temp by 10 degrees. Another SFL member is noting a 7 degree drop.

Thanks Danny, I think I know the brackets your referring to and I'm planning on removing them but yesterday was a full day. When we got the car back together, it took a while to get the Nismo thermostat to open and by the time it did, we just wanted to go home.

You should PM RPM06G35, Chamoru671 or GreenGoblin when you're ready as they've done 5 or 6 cars now (2 were FI). It's pretty involved and could be a PITA the first time around but these guys have it down now.

bruce, ive been wanting to do this for quite a while.. BUT i have concerns.

its COLD up here. thats a problem. it doesnt get to 0 or anything, but the average low is 40 in the coldest month, and the record low is 2 degrees.

whats the cutoff where i cant do this mod? if i do it, will i have a problem using my car in the cold? it is my DD, and i do drive my car every day. i mean, if its silly cold, i CAN use my sisters car, but i dont think she would like that.

ALSO.

how can you clean up this mess?? seriously, is it even possible?

first do a JDM battery cover...then reorganize the wires..even do a re-wiring. There are ways. None of which is easy except the battery cover.
