Testing S95 placement

We tried 3 different locations for the S95 today and **** just isn't working. The damn thing is too big to go between the radiator and the engine(side to side). The turbine is in the way of the water necks when it sits right at the edge of the radiator. Basically we ended up splitting the front core support and removing alittle material and boxing it in.

Dayum... That one big snail you have there. Mount the baby outlaw style. Cut a hol ein the front bumper and let it hang out there. Everything concerning your build has looked bad *** so far. Keep up the good work.

No Jose was talking about a mid-frame version of the 95. The full frame thumper is awesome.

I'm also trying to keep it high enough so I don't have to run a pump for the oil drail. I'm pretty happy with the placement.

I had thought about that but I'm still not sold on the remote idea. When are you coming to MIR?

LOL, I only wish I could put it somewhere. The damn compressor is soo big there is really no place to mount it. Anywhere you put it it hits something. Kinda like a bull running through a china shop, you know he is going to hit at least 10 things....
