| I believe you are the first to try a top-bottom style FMIC on a 300zx... maybe not, but it's the first I've seen. I like how straight the pipes are, however the inlet and outlet coming into the end tanks is not the best design. The charge air is forced to make a 90, and another 90 degree bend on each inlet and outlet... I wonder how much pressure drop that causes in comparison to there being 90 degree bends on the actual pipes away from the intercooler. When it's all said and done, it would be interesting if you could probe the piping before and after the intercooler and measure the pressure drop. What size piping are you using? How much did it cost you to get all of that made to fit your new setup? Also... is it really necessary to bracket/tape the radiator in place? I'm using a Koyo without any bracketry and it does just fine. When I try to flex the radiator back and forth with my hand, it doesn't have anywhere to go.
