Sounds sick, cant wait to see this.
A few comments,
- the host is down now so i cant see pictures.
- can't wait to see how much your supercharge setup will compare to my turbo setup
That thing should be an absolute bullet with anything over 250whp though. WELL into 12's. Power to weight is equivalent of having 500whp on a 4000 pound car, which is nuts. People forget that these cars are nearly half as light as any normal car muahah

The welds on that LHT Intercooler  Perfection. Almost a shame you won't see most of them.

Yes beautiful welds, aluminium welding takes skills and a steady patient hand.

Any fitment issues with that endyn sidestepper? Looks pretty wide and I know the extra room I have is very marginal.
Welds look great!

Will.... the alternator is actually not going to be a problem. The way the JRSC installs it actually pushes the alternator back towards the passenger side of the car about an inch. Meaning, the outermost pulley section on the stepper (the smaller section) is for the alternator. So really it's relationship to the drivers inner fender hasn't changed. But yes, we have very little room and this was concern to me during the JR consideration.
We do have other fitment issues in the REX though. the fuel line bracket that's attaches to the firewall hits the TPS sensor. You have to carefully bend or grind off the fuel line bracket. Also, the lower alternator mount comes extremely close to the crossmemeber, and the lower heater hose that goes to the heater core inside the car is directly in the way of the throttle body.
I will post pictures of the clearance problems once I start bolting it in.

If you stick around here, I get to know you, and you take a ride up to Jersey I have no problem letting someone take it for a spin with me.
Without getting into crazy details the project is approaching 40K now.

Yes, I regret not going with my first instincts and doing the JRSC first. I lost about $4500- by switching build plans at the very end of my project.
Other then that I have absolutely no regrets....... wait to you see my next project, it's been decided but not announced  . You're all gonna die...
I'll give you a peek.....

I thought you were going with that Zanardi(sp?) NSX. Hmm, I sense something devilish...

Are you going to wait for the new model or are you going to get a similar NSX as your old one?
I vote for a White 92 with gruppe M supercharger
