Nisei IC, IC pipe kit, and battery kit--first impressions

I just installed the Nisei intercooler, pipe kit, and mini battery kit. To anybody in the market for any of these items, my first impression is excellent. The intercooler is especially impressive and crafted nicely. Of course the car also gained some power, spools faster, and will be more resistant to the Texas heat.

I'll post up more info after I have had a chance to try the equipment on the track. For now check out the pics.

Their products seem awesome.

Unfortunately their battery kits are on backorder...

Only using a flash so it doesn't look good. I think the engine really needs to be taken in daylight. Anyway, I'll post one within the next few days.

yeah, I got it too, here is my install...I love it. I painted the top a flat black high temp paint (kinda like the stock one) so that it didn't look so obvious thru the top part of the grill and so that you can't really see the mounting bracket

btw, sorry bout the dusty lookin engine bay, lol...

Nutdrivers may be the coolest tool ever. I think I use them more often than my socket wrenches.

I can attest that the pipe kit and battery tray are flawless. Very good fit and finish.
