Looking at this and all the added weight of the liquid almost above the strut towers. Couldn't they have just lowered the center of gravity by inverting the motor. Wouldst the bottom of the engine bay provide the coolest intake charge? Sure took Honda a while to reverse face their motor.

I'm not following. The heaviest part of the engine is still the block and heads which sit on the same plane at the very bottom of the engine bay.

Normally all the stuff sitting up higher is fairly lightweight.

I know the aftermarket is so big for these cars that every time you make a decision something new and exciting is being developed lol

Ha, yup! I was going to move over to a FBM or RP400/600 kit, but I'm going to wait a bit longer.

That looks super clean!

Looks really nice minus the octopus of hoses coming off the front lol.

That looks so clean. Very interested in seeing it's potential. I'm willing to be though that this will be pretty expensive.

GM does the same thing with its intercooler hoses. They might make it a little less messy, but they have to route somewhere.

weederr33 · 04-13-2015, 02:23 PM

That's a pretty kit there!

Summerwolf · 04-13-2015, 05:05 PM

I am really hoping the edelbrock kit looks and acts like this but at a lower pricepoint. That has to be the cleanest engine bay I've seen for this car.

Unlikely since as of the latest reports it's using a TVS900 and not the TVS1320 the Harrop kit is using.
