The kit looks great. I have a few questions though, mostly regarding Nismo fitment.

1. Will the front tower brace on a Nismo touch the water pump? From the pictures it looks like it may be close.
2. Are there any fitment issues behind the Nismo front bumper? My understanding is there is different ducting/plastic.
3. Does the intercooler require removal of the front Nismo lateral brace?
4. Do the low & wide style oil coolers (AE Performance, Central 20, ARC, etc.) fit with the intercooler?

I know Nismo fitment has been mentioned earlier in this thread, but I don't think the topic was revisited after the kit moved closer to release.

1) Nope, no contact whatsoever on any of the components. There is plenty of room between everything and the strut tower brace.

2) We have not had the opportunity to test fit on the Nismo yet so we don't know how the intercooler or intakes fit with the fascia or braces, we are not anticipating any interference though.

3) same answer as 2.

4) We have no idea and we probably won't know until a customer tries it...We know that it fits with our oil coolers and will fit with the Nissan Motorsports oil cooler.

We have worked on a lot of nismo's with numerous different parts so we've taken those opportunities for measurements and what not but we have not yet had the ability to do a completed installation.

Hi Kyle

I asked this earlier to Josh, but what is the capacity of the intercooler reservoir?

thanks

Seb

Kyle- How is the sound of the supercharger at idle? I bought a vortec bolt on kit for my 98 VW Jetta GLX and sound from the supercharger at idle was completely rediculous. I loved the added power, but not as much as I hated the sound of the supercharger at idle. Do you have any idle audio clips to share?

I found a vid on YouTube. Supercharger whine is overpowering at idle just like the bolt on kit for my Jetta back in the day. I'll wait for your full review before pulling the trigger. Congrats on your kit, I'm sure you're pumped!

I don't know the exact capacity...I'll check with my engineers tomorrow and find out from them.

I was actually pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is during day to day driving. I also gave it the famous "girlfriend test." If my girlfriend, who called my truck OBNOXIOUS and says she hates customized cars and trucks, doesn't mind or notice anything then it passes the "girlfriend test." Her and I took out the red car one night to the local CA meet and then out to dinner and drove around for awhile...I had the radio turned off the whole time...She never said a word about it...Until I decided to have some fun and STOMPED on the gas and gave her a bit of a fright lol! It was pretty funny...

By the way I'm completely serious...On our second date I pulled up to her front door after I just had my 2007 Toyota Tundra lifted and the first words out of her mouth were "Oh my god that thing is obnoxious"...Needless to say I walked her back to her door, jumped in my truck and went out to the bar with my buddies....She called me back a week later asking for a second chance...LMAO!!!
