Held 163 with a fan in front and 175 with no fan just idling. The system took almost 3 gallons fully bled, but it bled like a charm with only one air bubble at the back of the block that came out almost instantly. Wednesday comes around and at this point I'm nervous, but I push through and add gas, then coolant. Something about the BMW clutch master and 05 maxima slave makes it so the pedal ratio is extremely quick (feels like 2 or less inches for full slave piston throw), but I'm happy with it, just have to build a large clutch stop! Lol I have a shit load of air in the system, but the clutch works mint after that. So I bought a remote reservoir I still have to mount. On Tuesday I bled the slave as much as I could, but it was such a pain with my brake setup even with the rear end jacked WAY up. I would definitely recommend the dual pump setup I have, it flows a TON of fuel and protects from starvation. I will also build a heat shield for the fuel lines around the driveshaft and to protect it from the exhaust. For my feed I cut the stock hardline down to right after the 90* bend, then TIG'd a -4an fitting on the end of it, then got a braided line to adapt it over to the slave. Monday I bought a slave feed and redid my fuel lines for the final time and am much happier with them. For the first time in over a month I genuinely felt motivated to work on my car. You can eliminate this notch if you have enough or no coolant hose here.So. The notch on the lower portion for the overflow hose had to be deepend by about an inch because I didn't have enough free overflow hose due to my ast placement. The only thing that would really get in the way is the lower intake hose
The shield can be extended to the rear for those of us with a air pump delete by up to 20cm. The notch on the top is for the bonnet prop - if you have struts you can eliminate this.
This has a snug fit against the fuse box which I believe could be improved by removing some shield material and including a rubber seal around the edge. I did have to remove the front flap which would extend in front of the radiator - it blocked proper fitment and also would only serve to block airflow to the intake from the bumper. This can be resolved by shortening this mount arm (on the shield) by an inch ish, and moving the support arm one bolt hole to the left. Also the mount can't be bolted in the normal place because the greddy is occupying the bolt hole. Some things I've learned - the shield is only really secured through one bolt hole which attaches to the stock box bolt location near the intercooler, but this does seem to have issues touching the greddy. I've never seen a good set of photos online regarding this intake so here you go
