Well in my case I have a head unit behind it to handle amplification, BT calls etc. It was easy for me, but probably for most it would be a hassle.

Another build thread I somehow missed. Looking forward to watching your videos tonight. :thumbsup: I also didn't know Perrin made radiator hoses for our cars. Another thing to add to my list for cooling upgrades. Did they match the OEM hoses and fit well?

I'd love to learn how to do something like that.

How does the back-end head unit communicate with the Nexus 7?

Came here for nudes and I see that you won't be providing them. Sucks.

Has anyone done a DIY on installing the Nexus 7 into the BRZ / FR-S?

Great thread! This is another one where I saw the videos first on YouTube and eventually found the thread here haha. Keep up the good work!

Thanks,

Pain in the butt. It would be an even bigger pain with supercharger installed before hand. Plan on 3-4 hours with burping the system properly.

But it helped shave off about 10-15 degrees off coolant temps with the stock setup.

But does it interfer things because of the vortech kit or because the blower robs "wiggle room" to work with.
