Your right...April fools, I forgot it was the April 1st or I would have prepared better.

So I finally had some time to do some install work, I now know why I hate working on a stock engine...too many damned vacuum, coolant and fuel lines.
So after removing a bunch, the ABS FFIM was installed. If you did not receive the email from me earlier about it, it's probably a good time to goto www.suprasport.com and on the lower left hand side of the webpage enter your email in the newsletter sign up spot. Than you are first on the list for updates and thats were the discounts will be!
Here is a pic, if you want more just click HERE

One of the changes that we are doing is to move the flange back. We don't like the IAC where it was so we can move it back and we might be tipping it the flange 15 degrees. It was good to install it to see if our clearance was there or not, moving the IAC has cured the clearance issue and Greg has the new CAD almost done.
The cool part is the harness will still fit through the web opening, and it has plenty of room so it won't touch the strut tower...92nsx...

Tomorrow we will add the spots where the supports need to be and the rest of the goodies...this thing is awesome!

Don't even need to do that. They have the same lower manifold piece. So this would fit an N/A no problem. Routing your airflow meter that is a different story for the N/A guys.

Whoo..... because with it smaching against the shock tower ( like the POS I have) it dosent sound to good and can not be good on the intake or engine.

Obviously you already know the hood clearance issue but have you installed the alt bracket to see how it clears the TB? Also are the ports going to be anymore radiused then that? But looks good guys!

We had the bracket on but took it off because we will have a replacement drop down bracket there or the alt relocation bracket.
All the runners have a full radius, the only one that doesn't is the IAC port which will not be there in the next version. I think your used to seeing a heavy radius because most FFIM's go from a solid plate to a standard runner system. We did not have that limitation and all the internal runner radius's are the maximum they can be between each other. The runners are also contoured from the wall so there is no flat base that needs the heavy radius
