I've done some work with Peltier modules. I think the best way to use them would be something akin to an "ice-box". You would replace the air-to-water heat exchanger element with a peltier module...

I agree with the exception of SC applications. Look at the TQ curve of every supercharged z34 thus far. It essentially looks like a stock curve only higher on the graph. FI isn't the problem TT is....

I know it's the oil temps that are causing the problems. However, could a larger capacity radiator make any difference?

It could be a good one actually. I had stiffer motor and transmission mounts on my Mazdaspeed6 they made a significant difference in feel. Obviously no real power to be made, but it could harness...

Crack VVEL, first and foremost.

As for these cars "needing FI". I'm throwing the BS flag. I still believe we can make 400+ Flywheel HP NA. Don't get me wrong, turbo cars are the most fun you can...

I ground second twice yesterday, which has been happening more and more frequently in the last 5k miles. Now 4-5 grinds every time. Calling dealer.

You're missing the point. A standard is a means of comparison. Most everyone who gives a crap about car audio knows JL; therefor, JL is a benchmark or standard.

If there is no standard, then how...

And why would it be for Nismo only? The stock parts are the same, why would after-market pieces be different. What kind of company goes after a niche like that, and limits themselves from the bulk of...

JL is best bought from a local dealer. That's where the price flexibility is. At the price I'm paying JL is a no brainer. Right now I have 1 JL 10w3v3 in a H.O. Wedge. It beats, but eats up 75% of my...

Consider the price of most JL stuff (not sure about stealthbox) is an MSRP and local dealers will most likely be able to give you a much better deal.
